On archlinux where we maintain a 1-1 relation on source and binary, we
will have to do a manual splitup of these modules. There's no possible
way of configuring anything with switches like --disable-gnomevfs, all
modules present on the system get built by default. When I take a look
at how nice the C++ bindings have been maintained for ages, I would wish
to have such a system for the C# bindings too.
