The problem is that the includepath for dbus is a *list* of paths, which means that the spaces *between* the paths are being wrongly escaped. This results in the list being treated as a single path, which is obviously why the header can't be found later.

I tried specifying a single include path using the --dbus option, thinking that this would result in the defaults being over-ridden. But I was puzzled to find that this only results in the user-specified path being *appended* to the list of defaults.

If the check fails, the defaults aren't also checked (which makes sense), and the dbus support is disabled. But if the check succeeds, for some reason the defaults are still used, and are also given priority over the user-specified path (which I don't understand). Is there a reason why it is done this way?

Should be fixed in tonight's snapshot.

Thanks,
