Sounds good, but there is a danger. Once you get deeply into the Gnome world, you start adding dependencies quickly. Quickly it will become compilable only on Gnome.
Are you speaking of GNOME in general or of this library specifically? I have these same concerns with any GNOME libs, but in theory some of the lower level libs might be clean. I don't know on this one and couldn't quickly find a dependency list on the GNOME-VFS website. I also did not see any specific mention of WebDAV, although support of URI's kind of implies that sort of capability.
According to dpkg, libgnomevfs2-0 and libgnomevfs2-common depend on libbonobo, libbz2, fam, libgcrypt, libpopt, libtasn, gconf, glib, gnutls, orbit2, libxml, zlib and gnome-mime-data.
At least abiword use it as a configurable dependency and it's successfully ported to windows.
Thanks, I've added this info to the page:
