	Sigh; it would be really good if you guys could write up proposals for
what you're going to do - and post them to keep us all on track, so the
design can be discussed.

	It's best to put it in eel for Gnome 2.0.0, and then do a search /
replace for gnome-vfs later. We're going to have to go on fixing bugs
for nautilus-2.0.1,2,3 etc. and one of the nasty ones is caused by the
lack of a decent capabilities API. We can't afford to delay those fixes
for 6 months.
