When I rewrote dbusbind.c into Lisp, using SXEmacs' FFI interface, I
didn't find it very comfortable. Maybe due to lack of documentation,
maybe (more likely) due to my stupidness. Besides of this, I did succeed.

The SXEmacs guys seem to have replaced (?) this by dynamic modules. But
this new feature doesn't fly yet, as I have experienced recently.
However, looks interesting.

Best regards, Michael.
