 Short term issues
 
+ - Add void PropertyModified(string key, bool is_added, bool is_removed)

+ - Make all optional properties from the spec available but with empty values

+ - Add infrastructure so updates to several properties happen as a single
+   transaction
+
+ - Make sure device is not added to GDL before all the key properties as
+   specified in the spec is there
+
+ - Add dbus_bool_t* not_found to all get functions in libhal

+ - Possible bug: PropertyAdded being called several times
