bug#18774: 24.4; Unable to customize Tramp group without d-bus support compiled in

[Bryan Bishop <bryanjbishop@yahoo.com>]

Running emacs -Q compiled from homebrew on the Mac, I'm unable to do:

M-x customize-group and select "tramp".  The customize screen doesn't
show any options other than Revert..., Apply and I see a message in the
echo area about:

"""
dbus-call-method: peculiar error: "Emacs not compiled with dbus support"
"""
