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.
