Something along the lines of a file system plugin?
- returns/enumerates the file systems/volumes/drives
- query file system information (type, path length, free space....)
- file system specific calls (c14n (canonicalisation ;-), attributes
(it is a real problem on *ix systems that Squeak ignores the file
attributes, Dan wrote a little goodie using OSProcess to allow one to
manipulate them), access control...)
Just MTC
