Bug description:
  As discussed by email, the GIO module in bamf is actually optional; it
  increases the accuracy of matching if it's built, but bamf will work
  without it. Since building the GIO module requires a glib patch which
  has not been accepted by upstream -
  https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=606960 - it would be
  beneficial to make it easy to build bamf without the GIO module if
  necessary.

  This patch adds a configure parameter, --disable-gio-module , which
  disables building of the module. The default behaviour remains as
  building the module. It might be better to have a test to see if the
  necessary extension point is available in glib and automatically build
  or not build the module depending on the result, but that would
  probably require writing a test application and I'm not up to that, so
  I just made it a parameter. =)
