A more neighborly trick would be to do the "use" in an eval instead  
of going by platform only.  That way the Dialogs module is still  
useful on non-gnome unix systems.

e.g.:

   our $HAVE_VFS = eval "use Gnome2::VFS; 1";

Note the string eval -- if you don't use the string, then it will be  
evaluated at compile time and you'll get a compile error instead of a  
recoverable runtime error.
