Yup. Maybe a nice goal for 2006. Could we maybe start with a sort of
platform matrix inventorying how all the various filesystems we need
to support work? This should make it easy to glance some common
denominator.

Or, suggestion from Goran yesterday on IRC, try to look for an
existing cross-platform file I/O library, steal good ideas from there.

(and I really need to take a peek at Flow again...)

Well... implementing Posix-y primitive would probably provide a better
(but not sufficient) starting point. Especially methods like
pread()/pwrite() that Solaris offers could help.
