+   Initializes gaim dbus pointer registration engine.
+
+   Remote dbus applications need a way of addressing objects exposed
+   by gaim to the outside world.  In gaim itself, these objects (such
+   as GaimBuddy and company) are identified by pointers.  The gaim
+   dbus pointer registration engine converts pointers to handles and
+   back.
+
+   In order for an object to participate in the scheme, it must
+   register itself and its type with the engine.  This registration
+   allocates an integer id which can be resolved to the pointer and
+   back.
+
+   Handles are not persistent.  They are reissued every time gaim is
+   started.  This is not good; external applications that use gaim
+   should work even whether gaim was restarted in the middle of the
+   interaction.
+
+   Pointer registration is only a temporary solution.  When GaimBuddy
+   and similar structures have been converted into gobjects, this
+   registration will be done automatically by objects themselves.
+
+   By the way, this kind of object-handle translation should be so
+   common that there must be a library (maybe even glib) that
+   implements it.  I feel a bit like reinventing the wheel here.
