Idem.

Isn't there a guideline against negative options? IOW, wouldn't it be better to have something like

`option(INCLUDE_DBUS_SUPPORT "Include support for using DBus to ..." ON)`

so that you don't have to test on `NOT FOO` everywhere?

(I know it's common practice to use shortcuts like "--disable-dbus" to indicate "disable support for dbus", but we can just as well use an option name that's semantically correct, no? :) )
