20 This is what I came to, too. I just realized, that
21 a) dbus adds to much overhead
22 b) dbus experience can be reduced a lot on slow systems (due to
23 timeouts) - as the calls involved can be really consuming. This is
24 perhaps in contrary to the usage in most dbus applications
25
26 Though I still like the idea of putting dbus-bindings on top (optional
27 of course). And then only once.
28
29 I also was in the mid of getting a c-lib to access portage.

35 Of course :) - though I don't think it can be re-used. Except perhaps
36 the "access portage from c" part.
