Proposed module: gvfs



svn/git/bzr/...: http://svn.gnome.org/viewcvs/gvfs/

Short description:
==================
gvfs is a userspace virtual filesystem implemented as a pluggable module
for gio (a new module in glib). The glib part of gio supports the
general APIs required for a virtual filesystem, but only has an
implementation for local files. GVfs is a unix-specific implementation
that uses out-of-process mount daemons and dbus for talking to the
daemon.

gio is part of glib 2.15.0 and will be released on schedule for gnome
2.22. Both eel and nautilus has been converted to use gio instead of
gnome-vfs.

Requires new external dependencies:
===================================
A new optional dependency for gvfs is fuse. If this is installed then
applications not using gio can still access files on gvfs shares.
