During the last 1.5 months there was no lobbying for keeping dbus, so I 
removed it from pcb-rnd in r11264.

FYI, the last pcb-rnd stable release that had dbus was 1.2.5, from 1.2.6 
we will not have support for dbus. Only xgsch2pcb is affected, please use 
genxproj instead (or talk to xgsch2pcb developers to switch the code to 
use --listen).

If strong and active user demand emerges (unlikely scenario), we can 
import the dbus plugin back.
