It could spawn NetworkManager as a subprocess and use the peer-to-peer 
D-Bus protocol to talk to it.  I think quite a few other programs do 
things this way.

On the other hand, having NetworkManager available all the time enables 
things like management tools to use its API to query system status, 
instead of guessing it from kernel information and heuristic analysis of 
some files under /etc.
