Description
There are issues with the eggdbus instructions:
- Why is eggdbus called "DBUS Glib Bindings"? It should be called, plain and simply, eggdbus.
- It needs a description. Can anyone think of one?
- It also needs descriptions for the lib and the apps.
- And, finaly, CBLFS mentions that Xmlto is one of the deps. Are they right? And if they are, does it need a patch to stop it from using xmlto?

- Why is eggdbus called "DBUS Glib Bindings"? It should be called, plain and simply, eggdbus.
It's called "D-Bus GObject Bindings", not "DBUS Glib Bindings." That's because that's what it is. From the .pc file it installs: "GObject bindings for D-Bus."
Case to point, it should also be refered to as eggdbus.
- It needs a description. Can anyone think of one?
Why? None of the other D-Bus Bindings on that page have a description.
So I see.
- It also needs descriptions for the lib and the apps.
Funny, that would actually put BLFS ahead of the package devs, as the README, INSTALL, and various other files, including the one manpage it installs, all just say "Write me."
Does this hinder us?
- And, finaly, CBLFS mentions that Xmlto is one of the deps. Are they right? And if they are, does it need a patch to stop it from using xmlto?
CBLFS is incorrect - xmlto is not needed.
- I'll edit CBLFS.

I agree the package should be referenced as EggDBus. That is what the authors call it in the reference manual and in other documentation. If the .pc file says something else, then great. However, it appears the devs refer to the package as EggDBus.

Modified the instructions to reference the package as EggDBus. It is parenthetical in the first two instances, leaving the original name as well. All other references were changed to EggDBus.
