Nah. If it was stuck in a branch, no one except me would test it!

My testing suggests that the gvfs-based importer works pretty well. I 
was sceptical at first, but after coding and testing it, the basic 
approach seems sound and elegant.

#ifdefs are not really an option. It's way too complex for that. All or 
nothing!

I'm sure we'll modify the UI some. I don't claim to be a UI guru.
