	* python/dbus.py:

	Add message argument to the default object_method_handler
	function.

	* python/dbus_bindings.pyx.in:

	Automatically return NIL when passed an empty list
	(we can't pass back a list since lists are typed
	and we don't have any idea what type the the client
	intended the list to be... :-( )
