	Fair enough; thanks, IIRC it might not pass distcheck, since the
regression test tests the efs backend extensively.

	Oh I don't know, we'll have to think about it; certainly for now I
think it is a bad idea. It would be possible to implement the file
moniker eg. outside the bonobo tree and depend on both bonobo and
gnome-vfs.

	Of course.
