It seems alleyoops picks up the gnome-vfs dependency because of
using libgnomeui which .pc file Requires: gnome-vfs and thus "leaks"
the linkage to users of libgnomeui.

Some work on removing libgnomeui dependencies (et.al.) seems to have
already happened in alleyoop git master (in 2011).
See https://git.gnome.org/browse/alleyoop/log/

Maybe if someone tested and reported on the state of the git master
we could consider shipping a snapshot instead of latest release?

Regards,
Andreas Henriksson
