yeah, somehthing like that had occurred to me. something like that
would take advantage of work that other people are doing; so we wouldn't
have to write translators for *everything*, we could use libferris and the
plugins that they support.
if you would indulge my ignorance of kernel programming; why would
results not be good if we used a ferrisfs?
