Yes, we do, but only XML files (which is fine for this purpose),
and only to existing dirs, such as getprop("/sim/fg-home"). There's
currently no way to create dirs from Nasal. So we would currently
have to dump all the files into ~/.fgfs/.

That's a different thing. Yes, the io library (iolib.c) is currently
commented out, but that's not needed for writing XML files.
See the "savexml" fgcommand:
savexml = func(name, node) { fgcommand("savexml",
props.Node.new({"filename": name, "sourcenode": node})); }
Also see http://members.aon.at/mfranz/flightgear/ac_state.nas which
writes aircraft specific data into separate files already now.
