WebDAV looks great for doing file level sharing. On the other hand,
WebDAV is a protocol, HMM's stuff is code (though not complete). Only
one of the two runs today...

Of course file-sharing is for wussies. What we really want is something
more along the lines of Tukan.

That way you can watch all the poor innocent people walk into your code
by mistake. Then they start jumping around from method to method in a
panicky manner, and then they run away screaming and never come back!
