Great thanks, it will make for easier updating in the future.

Well hal and dbus adds nice little features like when you plug in your
ipod or uab key drive it will mount t for you automatically and then
place and icon on your desktop for those.  Also dbus is being used with
beagle and a few cool mono/gnome apps.  gnome-vfs might not build with
the version thats in the moonbase because its not the latest version.  I
think the latest version is 0.31 or something.  I am sure that will be
required to compile gnome-vfs with dbus support.  If its not required
then you can leave it off for now, hopefully one of these days I will be
able to fix the dbus/hal modules to actually work properly.

Otherwise great job updating these modules!
