multiple input files

Hi there,

Ben and Chris mentioned at the pig user meeting multiple input files  
can be used for pig.
However this is only true for text files since pig uses a own  
inputformat.

I wonder why is using pig such a input format and do not use hadoops  
sequence file or text input format.
By browsing the code I can't see any very pig specific functionality  
there? What do I miss?

I would love to work on supporting any kind of sequence files  
(value.toString to convert the value to a string) and allow multiple  
input files.
Any thoughts?

Stefan
