Again, sorry for the misstep. I acknowlege how busy everyone is, and I
in no way meant to imply otherwise.

I reverted the change with another commit, following the model of an
earlier and similar instance I found in the logs.

I did create a new merge request. I changed my approach so that
grilo-plugins should support compiling against any recent libdmapsharing
API. Here it is:
