On Unix, the connect address should basically always be "autolaunch:"
but the listen address has to be something you can listen on.
On Windows, you can listen on "autolaunch:" or
"autolaunch:scope=*install-path", for instance, and the dbus-daemon is
involved in the auto-launching process.

[default address changed to autolaunch: for interop with GDBus -smcv]

The system bus is unsupported (and rather meaningless) on Windows anyway,
so we can use anything. Also, make it clear that it has to be a
"specific" address that can be listened on *and* connected to,
like unix:path=/xxx - a listen-only address like unix:tmpdir=/xxx or
nonce-tcp: would not be suitable.

If dbus is installed in a path, which contains a space, dbus-launch will
not launch the daemon. That is so, because a command line is built from
just the path to the daemon and a parameter. The path has to be
surrounded with quotes. This can be done unconditionally, because the
quotes do not cause any trouble even if they are not needed.

We didn't actually have /org/freedesktop/DBus in the spec, nor did we
explicitly mention the existence of "org.freedesktop.DBus" as an
interface, although it is implicit in the method names.

dbus-launch can apparently return an empty address under certain
circumstances, and dbus_parse_address() in the next line will return
a nice DBusError for an empty address rather than aborting the process.

Automake maintainer mode isn't about whether you're a maintainer or not
(although its name would suggest that), it's about whether files that are
normally distributed in the tarball get regenerated. As such, it's
not really appropriate to use it to drive defaults for things like
assertions and extra test code.
The desired effect is that developers building from git normally get
tests and assertions, while distribution packagers don't.

When targeting Windows, linking against the static library requires
special effort to turn off DLL import/export processing. We normally
link some things against the dynamic library, but if we're not building
that, we'll have to link everything statically.

Entertainingly, bits of libdbus assume that one byte is enough for each
version number component (as API!), and one test even fails if this
isn't true.
Also remove the (double!) requirement that signatures be nul-terminated,
and turn it into a note about the marshalling format.
