Make caffeine a dbus server that can be used with or without a gui frontend.

Disabling power-management and screen-saving can be complicated considering all the possible combinations of PM and SV programs the user might be using. If Caffeine ran a dbus server any script/program could more easily disable
power-management and screen-saving.

Started new branch for this, caffeine checks for the dbus server and if it is not found its starts a new one.
Update Monday, August 17 2009: Fixed dbus seg faulting problems by changing the method used to inhibit PM and SV.
Update Tuesday, August 18 2009: Ran into problems with previous methods, but now I think I have found a good solution.
