This is overengineered for the task. I like the ideas of either having
a pam based tool like gnome-passwd or a passwd based one. Pulling in
GObjects and DBus is just too much for such a simple tool.
Maybe when this library is more mature, this would be a good idea, but
for 2.12 timeframe it's not right.
Thanks,
