Anyway, with WebDAV set up, you can use the repository using a file manager like File Explorer (on Windows), or mounted as a file system (on Linux). Some applications such as Illustrator, understand WebDAV directly, and I understand they can load-from and save-to the remote repository directly. One could imagine that having an active WebDAV repository would be ample motivation to get similar support built into Inkscape... ;-)
Wow, that subject line is getting large. My subject line is bigger than your subject line (sorry).
Anyway, the WebDAV support would be something that we'd get for free if we supported GNOME-VFS. I'd like to do that sometime, is there any issues with using GNOME-VFS on Windows or Mac OS X? It would be nicer if we could go to GNOME-VFS exclusively.

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.
There -is-, however, the lovely Neon WebDAV library, which has long been ported to many architectures, including Win32, and is used every day. It is the backbone transport of Subversion, even. And Subversion's webdav FS code would be a good starter example. It is LGPL.
