[referencer] Libglade to GtkBuilder and GnomeVfs to Gio ports

[Simon Heath]

My $0.02...

I humbly vote against sourceforge...  I find that SF's website and
file hosting has gotten progressively more annoying as time has gone
on, and think there's little it does that other sites don't do better.
 Matej's point on not discarding the Mercurial history is a pretty
strong one, but I would not be surprised if a tool existed to migrate
history to other version control systems.  Personally I like
Mercurial, but git and bazaar seem functionally identical.

Thanks,
Simon
