After thinking about this (and installing HAL), I'm thinking that
D-Bus belongs on one page and *all* the D-Bus bindings belong on
another page. It would be trivial to have an individual section
for each flavor of the bindings, each with its own xref label
for referencing.

I think we may as well go ahead and make the changes, there can't
be that many instances to change, and a trivial grep will identify
the necessary changes.

Seems the biggest issue is of course, the KDE bindings, but we
also need to address the issue of the gzipped pci.ids file that
chokes HAL. My solution is a script that I run called pciids_update
that calls the actual update-pciids program and then:

mv        pci.ids.gz      pci.ids.gz.SAVE
cp        pci.ids.gz.SAVE pci.ids.gz
gunzip -f pci.ids.gz
mv        pci.ids.gz.SAVE pci.ids.gz

Then, init scripts run the above at boot which updates both the
gzipped and non-gzipped versions of the pci.ifs file. We've
discussed this before and most determined they didn't want it
updated at boot, so we have to figure out when/where to do it.
Or, figure out a better solution.

Other notes:

1. I added a --docdir parm to HAL so the docs are installed in a
version directory.

2. I didn't touch the default HAL rules and/or policies as I am
not familiar enough to recommend changes.
