Sure, submit it as a patch for Cincom to review. I imagine subdirectories should be part of basic functionality for file serving.

Cheers!

Ok.. In thinking about the big picture here and trying to
help perspective future users of this class.. I'm wondering IF
I were to alter the existing WAExternalFileLibrary to be more
flexible (add support for subdirectories + more obvious config
features), would that annoy other users of this class?  I'm not
sure how many people are actually using it for anything --
comments?  At a minimum I'll certainly document the current
behavior including where the 'files' directory lives within the
VW tree which was half the problem for me to guess.
