Ok, when installing Arch fresh and installing hal & dbus before x there are 60mb of deps to fulfill, these include xorg, pango and atk among others, is this really necessary as a depnd for install, couldn't these be moved to build deps? i mean, HAL is an abstraction layer, and dbus is an IPC system for use in and out of X.

Also why no Qt bindings in dbus, that's half of the main DE users locked out of compiling against dbus for Qt/KDE apps...

I think I stripped down pretty much everything in hal and dbus to make it a small package that provides bindings. I also built the QT bindings. DBUS still resides in testing because of the python stuff, but HAL is in extra at this moment.
