FWIW, I did some digging and it turns out that some of the checks really
do need a java.io.File because they access the file via a
RandomAccessFile, etc...

I inquired about hacking in InputStreams on the checkstyle developer list.
Basically I was throwing out the idea of creating an abstraction over File
which would include both File and InputStreams.  This didn't go over too
well.

Is Jesse's suggestion of File.createTempFile() that much of a headache?
