	* glib/dbus-gparser.c (struct Parser): Add in_annotation boolean.
	(parse_node, parse_interface, parse_method, parse_signal)
	(parse_property, parse_annotation): Lose if we're currently in an
	annotation.
	(parse_annotation): New function.
	(parser_start_element, parser_end_element): Handle annotation.
	(parse_method, parse_interface): Remove support for c_name attribute,
	switch to annotations.

	* glib/dbus-gidl.h (interface_info_get_binding_names)
	(method_info_get_binding_names)
	(interface_info_get_binding_name, method_info_get_binding_name)
	(interface_info_set_binding_name, method_info_set_binding_name):
	Remove.
	(interface_info_get_annotations, method_info_get_annotations)
	(interface_info_get_annotation, method_info_get_annotation)
	(interface_info_add_annotation, method_info_add_annotation):
	Prototype.

	* glib/dbus-gidl.c (struct InterfaceInfo): Substitute "annotations"
	for "bindings".
	(struct MethodInfo): Ditto.
	Straightfoward conversion of binding methods into annotation methods
	as prototyped.

	* glib/dbus-glib-tool.c (pretty_print): Print annotations.

	* glib/dbus-binding-tool-glib.h (DBUS_GLIB_ANNOTATION_C_SYMBOL): Define.

	* glib/dbus-binding-tool-glib.c (gather_marshallers, generate_glue):
	Use new annotation API.

	* doc/introspect.dtd: Fix a number of DTD syntax errors.  Add
	annotation element.

	* doc/dbus-specification.xml: Discuss introspection annotations,
	include list of well-known annotations.

	* test/glib/test-service-glib.xml: Make validate against new DTD.
