We should remove the check. It was added because GLib made the mistake of 
forbidding them, and the mistake was imported into D-Bus, which led to remote 
DoS attacks in KDE applications that sent remote text via D-Bus (konversation 
sent the text sent by people from IRC).

GLib was fixed in version 2.36 and D-Bus was fixed in 1.6.10. Since 1.6.10 is 
pretty new, we need to keep a version check in QtDBus.
