* dbus/dbus-watch.c (dbus_watch_handle): warn and return if a watch is invalid when handled * tools/Makefile.am, tools/dbus-launch.c, tools/dbus-launch.1: add dbus-launch utility to launch the bus from a shell script. Didn't actually implement dbus-launch yet, it's just a placeholder still.

+There is no way to cause the D-BUS daemon to reload its configuration
+file (HUP will not do so). The reason is that changing configuration
+would break the semantics expected by applications connected to the
+message bus. Thus, changing configuration would require kicking all
+apps off the bus; so you may as well just restart the daemon.
