Description
Currently, gnome-vfs is a required depency of gst-plugins-base. This dependency pulls in a TON of extra gnome ports, which really aren't necessary to use the gst-plugins.
My particular problem is that I want to install qt4-x11. qt4-x11 depends on gst-plugins-base, which depends on gnome-vfs, which depends on the whole gnome ecosystem. Obviously, I'm not really interested in installing gnome in order to use Qt.

The current design of gst-plugins-* portfiles is to have each port use as many potential dependencies as possible (within the constraints of licensing). I see your point regarding pulling in many superfluous dependencies just to use gstreamer plugins. I'll see what I can do about writing some +no_foo variants.
