Too cool. I'll have a look at it when I get back into the office.

If it meets minimum standards for code quality, I will happily take it into
libsmbios. Tucked under doc/ somewhere is a coding standards draft. This would
fall under the category of user-submitted stuff that I would 'maintain', but
not test. I would stick it in the unsupported binaries area.

I have not considered it, but only because I havent had time to mess with dbus.

If it looks easy enough, I would probably consider it.
