once the unitAdded/unitRemoved signals are added to QsdManager, then those can 
easily be hooked up in the engine.

is there a way to get notified from systemd when a unit changes activation or 
load state? because those would also be useful in the engine, obviously.

with those in place, there really isn't much more needed in the engine: there 
are no dynamic sources (they are all push-published by systemd; so no 
sourceRequestEvent implementation is needed) and polling makes no sense (so 
updateSourceEvent is unecessary to implement)

the only thing that might be interesting is to provide a serviceForSource 
implementation that allows interacting with a unit, if a user is able to do 
anything useful (such as activate/deactive a unit?). i'm not sure that's 
possible though; if not then a Service is also unecessary.
