Good idea. I'd just make one change - always create the GFile no matter whether 
GIO is enabled or not. The problem is GIO can be enabled/disabled in 
preferences at any time so we'd have to nullify/set the field based on the 
settings, plugins would have to always check it for NULL and it would introduce 
just complications. Better to have something like the utils_use_gio() and 
whoever wants to use the GFile should use the utils_use_gio() or know what he 
is doing.

I hope when using GIO consistently this shouldn't happen. Anyway, the problem 
with mtime we had was quite unique I believe and shouldn't happen when e.g. 
just testing file existence.
