DBus demo needs gen_dbus

[lauramcastro]

Commit b0bde84 'temporarily' disabled the gen_dbus module, rendering the demo example impossible to run. Sadly, renaming gen_dbus.erl.bak to gen_dbus.erl and re-compiling does not help, since at least one macro is missing (HEADER_MEMBER). Even after defining such macro, and fixing some other issues, the furthers one gets when starting the dbus_demo application is to a badarg error on the binary:split/3 call on dbus_auth_cookie_sha1 module (line 24).

Same behaviour is observed by simply starting dbus (dbus:start()) and then running dbus:connect(session).

Thanks for your report.
I have rewritten erlang-dbus mainly for using it as a client, thus breaking gen_dbus and such other things. Making them working againg is in my TODO list. Be patient or contribute ;)

Thanks for your answer. I will be patient, and if I can put aside the time to get to a proper fix, I will indeed pull-request it :).
