	In which case, may I apologise unreservedly for lambasting you on
IRC about it :-) I think you made the right call.

	The obvious point for consideration is now the file / vfs IO
monikers. I think the right place for the 'vfs:' and 'file:' monikers,
that currently live inside libgnome/monikers ( basicaly the
libmoniker_gnome_std_la_SOURCES block of code ) is inside gnome-vfs.

	Do you agree ? may I do some CVS / autoconf surgery to move them
in there ?; clearly the 'vfs:' moniker as a whole is quite unsatisfactory,
and in the future we'll perhaps want to have a more stream based internal
structure to both the monikers and gnome-vfs storage modules, but for now
it seems like a quick fix to unify the two easily. And conceptualy it all
belongs in gnome-vfs I would suggest ?

	Anyhow, do let me know.

	Regards,

		Michael.
