IMO a standard location for installing and locating these xml should be 
established at the dbus project level.  Even a convention would do it.

The first two off the top of my head:
a) install in $prefix/include (yuck)
b) install elsewhere and add support to tools like pkg-config for locating 
them.

What do you think?

I've punted this idea on the dbus list too.
