The dbus packages are a little bit messed up - it'll be fixed with 4.1.0
I'll then release 1.2.1svn (== windbus svn, with patches from js) and
update the qt module.
Renaming to qt-copy isn't usefull - the linux distros also don't name
their qt-packages qt-copy :)
Linking against dbus 1.1.2 should be no problem since 1.2.1 and 1.1.2
are bc.
