I can't honestly see it happening, unless there was a significant demand from 
the customer base. We've been there, done that before, and if I remember it 
wasn't very successful at the time. The most used piece of code was Stephen's 
menu converter, but given that was an old gnome-vfs module, I doubt it works 
anymore.
