Yeah, I'm game. I've been kinda looking for something to hack on for a
while now, and I think I've found it =)
Since there seems to be a lot of discussion about the VFS layer at the

future shape of the VFS layer, to try and unclutter this list a bit.
Unless there's already a list for this which I've missed. Tom? Dave?
Ted?
