+= Ruby-Dbus-Daemon
+
+Hi girls and boys!
+
+This is a small wrapper lib around the dbus-daemon executable.
+
+== Installation
+
+  sudo gem install pangdudu-ruby-dbus-daemon --source=http://gems.github.com
+	 	 
+== Usage
+
+to start a dbus daemon:
+
+  require 'dbus-daemon'
+  dbd = DbusDaemon.new "dbus.configfile.conf"
+  dbd.start_daemon
+
+to kill the daemon (and the processes that spawned on the console):
+  
+  dbd.stop_daemon
+  
+== Warning
+
+If you CTRL-C your app, the spawned daemon will continue running. You'll need to
+"ps xaf | grep dbus-daemon" and "kill -9 pid" on your own. Got no time for a pretty
+solution right now. Once ruby-dbus is further on the way, i'll rewrite it with a
+real *.so and a ruby lib wrapping it. 
+
+== Rule the universe! 
+
+Ride the dbus with me, yeah yeah.
+
+== License
+

+  It's awfully dirty, but I need to concentrate on other stuff now :)
