Hmmm, I'm either missing something or not making myself clear:

gnome-vfs-mime-handlers.h:

#include gnome-vfs-mime-deprecated.h

<Insert the non deprecated api here>

Now, old applications that still use the deprecated api would get it by
just including gnome-vfs-mime-handlers.h as before.

What am I missing ?
