OK, wild suggestion here:
Like we abstract our GUI/Event System/Graphic System/etc in 'xp' code
and implement this abstraction on win32 unix qnx mac etc, we could also
abstract our *IO system*. We could then implement this abstraction on
*nix using gsf, and for example on win32 with wininet.dll, etc.
This would fit very nicely in the general code _structure_ we have now.
