Re: moving eel-vfs-extensions to gnome-vfs

[snickell stanford edu]

A good integration of many of these functions (there are some others
which are very useful such as the read_entire_file functions, and things
like that) with GnomeVFS would be a worthwhile task, but alas, not one
that anybody has shown a distinct interest in. Thus I think it lies as a
situation of "Patches Accepted". I'll be back with ready access to mail
and IRC in several days and I can talk it over with you then if you're
interested in actually doing the legwork :-)
