My personal take, as now reflected in our builds, is that it's too ugly for
words ;-) and that instead we should use the new, replacement GIO infrastructure
exclusively, which has the following benefits:

* one fewer build dependency - only a (more recent) glib rather than the
separate gnome-vfs
* no nasty threading issues
* improved startup performance / hack removal

Of course - that's fine for us - but you'll need glib-2.16+ at least to compile
against (libgio is a separate DSO though, as part of the glib library set - so
shouldn't be a big issue). Also, the existing gio code needs more work & 
testing.

I guess that (perhaps) ties into long Solaris release schedules and so on.

Either way - since you can't enable both gnome-vfs and GIO support in OO.o and
GIO has been the canonical up-stream solution for a year or so, hopefully we can
deprecated gnome-vfs at least in the community builds soonish.
