This is from the olpcgames mesh.py module.  It uses the name to 
construct a "unique" DBUS service name for the various olpcgames-based 
projects.  That is, it tries to create a different name for each game 
that uses the wrapper by asking for the program "name" and using that as 
the DBUS name for the activity's sharing service.

Substituting a call to get_bundle_id() seems to work fine in the sense 
that it lets the code move past the import of the module and I can at 
least *seem* to share it (though TicTacToe.activity doesn't seem to 
actually share any data).

Thanks Marco,
Mike
