Porting gnomebaker over to gst  0.10, is going to be a fairly time
consuming job (certainly more time than I've got right now).  Luke's
started it, but most likely it's not going to be completed before FC5
comes out.

In response to Thorsten's early question an exceptions being made for
automatically allowing FC packages to be imported into FE, I'd be for
that.  Considering how long gst-0.8 was in Core, what is the harm in
having it in FE?
