Gnome-vfs:

* Allow gconf keys to be set to not use the proxy settings for some
domains/ips.

* IPV6 support added. uris can now have ipv6 addresses in them.

* New uri-scheme "dav:" included, which basically is the same as http:
but is prefered for referencing webdav resources, since it uris like
that will open in the right app and not always in the webbrowser.

* New function "gnome_vfs_url_show()" to show a uri with the default
handler for it. This replaces gnome_url_show() in libgnome (which now
calls the new gnome-vfs function). The new code also looks at the mime
type of the file, in addition to special-case handlers for some types of
URIs.
