ldd /usr/bin/dbus-daemon-1
        libexpat.so.1 => /usr/lib/libexpat.so.1 (0x412da000)
        libnsl.so.1 => /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libnsl.so.1 (0x42b3e000)
        libc.so.6 => /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc.so.6 (0x41019000)

This dbus daemon shipped with dbus itself can act as system as well as session 
bus. libdbus itself has everything to implement a bus, dbus-daemon just adds 
specifics such as security policies, selinux support, authentication and 
activation of services. So it might perhaps make sense to implement a 
dbus-dcop bridge by implementing a session bus inside the dcopserver using 
libdbus. (that would not include bridging to the system bus though)
