[ENH] Filecreation ([er] nonsense, please reject)

This changeset adds one method :

	FileDirectory class>>forLocalName: aString directoryName: 
aDirectoryName
		"create a file named aString in the directory aDirectoryName"
	
		| goodFileName |
		goodFileName := self checkName: aDirectoryName , self  slash,   
aString fixErrors: false.
		^ self on: goodFileName

This is utterly nonsense because it does not create a file, as the 
comment (or the changeset preamble) implies. It creates a FileDirectory 
instance. We do not need that method, because the canonical way to do 
this (using variable names like above) is:

	(FileDirectory on: aDirectoryName) directoryNamed: aString
