I think for files, doing a modules for ns_sopen, ns_sread, ns_sgets, ns_sclose,
ns_sputs would be pretty simple, like a few lines per routine. The C library
should coordinate thread access for you, so I don't think you would need
a bunch of mutex garbage, other than maybe to update a file handle table
(if you wanted one). Could be done just with using FD's as the numbers
too - that's what TCL does. Then no file handle table is necessary.
