Right.  I've backported the necessary bits to Fedora 8 and 9's
dbus-glib, so you can actually just change the NM configure script to
allow anything >= 0.74.  Technically the required changes are only in
dbus-glib 0.75 upstream, which is why upstream NM requires that version.
But given that I backported the fixes to Fedora, I've also modified the
Fedora rpm packages to build correctly for the distro.
