Despite the integrated package would fit my personal needs better I also have
to vote for a separate ntfsprogs-gnomevfs.i386.rpm package due to the
dependencies requirement.
BTW those dependencies are currently excessive as 'configure.ac' of my
'ntfsprogs-gnomevfs' was derived from the original 'gnome-vfs2' package where
a lot of different modules originally needed many supportive libraries. Anton,
send me offlist request if you would like it resolved by myself.
As I originally expected 'ntfsprogs-gnomevfs' would get integrated back to
the mainstream 'gnome-vfs2' I did not consider such excessive 'configure.ac'
a problem that time. Unfortunately Alexander Larsson rejected it as it is
(I agree) too much specific piece of code for Gnome-VFS.

Kiddin'? Such crippled system would not have any meaning, man. :-)
