Re: GMAE build for libgsf

["Dominic Lachowicz" <domlachowicz gmail com>]

Hi,

AbiWord doesn't require Bonobo, though there are various bits that it
may optionally use. The case mentioned below is dead code and can be
safely removed. Other places should live behind a conditional such as
"#ifdef HAVE_BONOBO". If they don't, that can be considered a bug and
should be fixed.

I also wonder if it might make sense to start a libgsf backend that
supports GVFS in the nearish future.

Best,
Dom
