• dbus-daemon and dbus-daemon-launch-helper now require libdbus. They
were previously linked to a static version of libdbus.
+• The tests no longer require dbus-glib in order to exercise the libdbus

+ by OS integrators intending to use systemd to provide a session bus
+ per user (in effect, treating all concurrent graphical and non-graphical
+ login sessions as one large session)

Enhancements:
• All executables are now linked dynamically to libdbus.
