File System Library

	Hi,

	yesterday Martin Spernau convinced me to join this list,
even not being a LuaCheia developer.  I'm working for the Kepler
Project and we have faced the same problem of lacking of file system
functions, like chdir, stat, lock, unlock etc.  We also developed a
File System library with almost the same functions as yours.
	As I told Martin, we think it would be better to join the
efforts and maybe merge the two libraries into a single one that could
serve both projects.  But we have a slightly different API that I
would like to discuss.  Here it is:

lfs.chdir (path)
lfs.currentdir () -> returns a string
lfs.dir (path) -- directory iterator
lfs.lock (filehandle, mode[, start[, length]])
lfs.mkdir (dirname)
lfs.unlock (filehandle[, start[, length]])

	We intend to add lfs.attributes (filepath [, attributename])
also.  This function will return a string or a table (if attributename
is missed) with the attribute(s).

	Critics, suggestions?

	Another doubt I have is if it is better to improve lposix to
work on Windows.  What do you think?

	Regards,
		Tomas
