I have documented this in INSTALL. Since it is not widely used for
compilation, I don't believe it needs another configure option.

This could be documented in the Emacs manual, chapter Emacs Server. Or ...

... we add a new command line option for Emacs "--no-dbus", which
prevents initialization in init_gsettings(), init_gconf() (both in
xsettings.c) as well as any action in dbusbind.c.
What do people think? Stefan, Chong?
