This is the GNOME Virtual File System. GNOME VFS is currently used as one of the foundations of the Nautilus file manager. For instructions on submitting patches, etc. check out the 'HACKING' file. Please read OUTSTANDING_API_ISSUES for a list of things that are not frozen. Special configure options: --with-afs Handle afs. Requires /afs, /usr/afsws/lib, and /usr/afsws/include. configure doesn't add AFS support automatically because it adds considerably to yet another module, and the AFS libraries need -lucb on Solaris, which breaks things.
