Integrating optional file chooser implementations into GTK+

[Ross Burton <ross@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

In Poky Linux[1] we're maintaining what could be termed a fork of
gtkfilechooserdefault.c targetted at devices with small screens.
Basically we're removed large amounts of functionality, and added some
extra options (such as the ability to restrict the file that the file
chooser will display to a particular subtree) which are often useful.

Now, we'd love to stop having to resync this huge patch on every GTK+
release because it's frankly quite huge.  Also, other people building
mobile devices might find this file chooser far more suitable for their
purposes than the default one.

Would there be any interest in us cleaning the patch up as a standalone
file chooser implementation, adding it to the GTK+ sources, and then
letting GtkFileChooser use a configurable (at configure time)
implementation (defaulting to the current widget)?

Cheers,
Ross
