The latest xine-lib package, 1.1.1-1, depends on gnome-vfs. Can I ask 
the reason for this packaging decision? The Arch Packaging Standards state:

Any *optional dependencies* that aren't needed to run the package or 
have it generally function shouldn't be included, but a warning message 
inside the .install file should echo something like: "To enable SMB 
support, download the Samba package."

This is not a complaint, by the way - I'd just like to understand why I 
suddenly need this optional dependency, along with all its dependencies.

In the meantime, I have successfully compiled and installed xine-lib 
without gnome-vfs.

Regards
Tom K.
