Thanks a lot!  It makes more sense after having poked at this today.
I've been doing some local mockbuilds today, and noticed I could enable
bluez4 in the NM spec file (it was set to --enable-bluez4=no, afaics),
and I seems to produce some nm-bluez4 files.  Now I just need to get the
proper version built, I built the fedpkg NM master by mistake.
