Actually, I'm reconsidering this. Most app will pull in the gvfs module,
but not the volume monitor (or only when displaying a file selector), so
even if the 4k used is shared we pull in the 4k from libhal and another
from libusb (which hal uses). So, its a net loss for "most" apps.

Makes better sense to have this separated out and on-demand loaded.
