I think we are getting close to where we want a more flexible file system. We are already doing something along these lines with the Scenery. ie. when we look for a tile it can either have a .gz extension or not and we use the gzf__() functions on the compressed files and norman stdio f_() functions if it doesn't. This concept could fairly easily be extended to include directories. Kind of like Jar files in Java :-) We could even walk both the compressed and the uncompressed tree and use the 'newest' file for easy experimentation.
