I was just about too. More of that I was naot able to build gnome-vfs
unless I changed check in configure.in from
PKG_CHECK_MODULES(GTK, gtk+-2.0 >= 2.3.1 libgnomeui-2.0 >= 2.5.1, AM_CONDITIONAL(HAVE_GTK, true))
to 
PKG_CHECK_MODULES(GTK, gtk+-2.0 >= 2.3.1 libgnomeui-2.0 >= 2.5.1, AM_CONDITIONAL(HAVE_GTK, true), AM_CONDITIONAL(HAVE_GTK, false))

IMHO cross-dependency is a bad idea. I think functionality from gtk
subdir in gnome-vfs should be merged in libgnomeui or a new module for
it should be created.
