 After a debate with the other GStreamer Maintainers and considering
 notably that:
 - other types of plugins are affected (libvisual, LADPSA, Python)
 - upstream is currently implementing a clean solution
 it was decided to revert the GnomeVFS hook system as it is
 overengineered for the interim.

 The upstream bug on the subject is at:
