[io] Re: [?][SUBMIT] FileSystem.java

[vfs] and [io] are the two main projects for file handling. 

[io] is one that we would like to have work done on (eg. tidying and testing) to get it released.

Check STATUS.html for where I am in the io testing/tidying.
Currently I'm working at slowly getting the unit-tests in for the
file-filters. Any energy/time people have to spare, would be great.

[The compress subpackage needs to leave io, I suspect it'll be passed
around a bit, but io's the wrong place. My fault for suggesting it go
there I think]
