Bug description:
  I develop deja-dup.  I currently use an appindicator to convey
  progress and to show a few menu items during a backup.  For natty, I
  was excited to port those over to the launcher icon support in
  libunity and do away with the appindicator.

  However, I now understand that dynamic QLs won't be available in time
  for natty (bug 729074).  So I may go back to appindicators for natty.

  But this got me thinking.  Imagine for oneiric, when QLs are fixed.
  And the same version of deja-dup could be run in both natty and
  oneiric.

  Ideally there would be a way to query version or (even more ideally)
  capabilities.  So that I could use either an appindicator or libunity
  depending on how capable the version of unity is.
