drochner 3d73d2dd2c add gvfs-0.2.3, a userland virtual file system implementation which
ought to replace gnome-vfs, starting with gnome-2.22

pkgsrc note: It would be great to have this split into modules to
limit dependencies, but as the code is structured this is hard to do.
So I've basically selected functions which are provided by gnome-vfs
plus gnome-vfs-samba. Unfortunately, the samba part doesn't work for me -
mount attempts just hang. So this is a work-in-progress, help welcome.

gvfs is a userspace virtual filesystem designed to work with the i/o
abstractions of gio (a library availible in glib >= 2.15.1). It
installs several modules that are automatically used by applications
using the APIs of libgio. There is also fuse support that allows
applications not using gio to access the gvfs filesystems.
