Droids / VFS

I recently started messing with VFS -- http://commons.apache.org/vfs/

So far it is excellent.  It lets me walk FTP / SFTP / and zip files  
the same way we work with local files.

It seems like this would be a really good match with Droids.

Totally agree.

The protocol stage ATM makes only sense for http/file but with VFS we
are including 3 more, that sounds nice.

Sounds very interesting and makes sense as a match.  Adding in mail  
crawlers and we will be in really good shape.
