NAK it's not acceptable to make gnome-vfs support undeterministic in
2.2.x just because some future 3.0 recipe won't use it.

We already have too many autodetected dependencies again, last bunch
added by new 1394 recipes in meta-multimedia:
vlc-2.2.1: vlc rdepends on libavc1394, but it isn't a build dependency? [build-deps]
vlc-2.2.1: vlc rdepends on libdvdnav, but it isn't a build dependency? [build-deps]
vlc-2.2.1: vlc rdepends on libupnp, but it isn't a build dependency? [build-deps]

Add PACKAGECONFIG for it please and to get bonus points add
PACKAGECONFIG for deps from QA issues above.
