--------------------------------+-------------------------------------------
 This port is an alternative version of the current dbus port which
 integrates a patch providing autolaunch support via launchd. It also dumps
 the version to 1.2.12

 Because autolaunching is now done via launchd, the X11 variant is no more
 necessary. X11 was only used to store the address of the session bus which
 is now done via launchd. X11 is now completely disabled (no more poping
 X11 windows for native applications!).

 This should solve all the problems related to dbus autolaunching, like
 #16833, #16755, #16870 or #17688. Some of them are solved by building dbus
 with x11 support, but this is in my eyes a bad solution, esp. for non-x11
 programs like kde4.
