I think this is a good idea overall since DBus is simply
another adaptation layer over Helix that programs can use
to get at the functionality of Helix without using the
native C++/COM API.

Before this is done, I think others should comment on it
however. Some initial thoughts:

What will happen with the old banshee code, will it be
changed to use this new location? I think it should be
because we do not want to maintain 2 code bases.

I notice that the banshee DBus code does not conform to
the Helix coding standards in places. Work would have
to be done to bring it up to speed during initial import
or soon after.

We would want this on at least HEAD and 310Atlas.
