I like the idea of a file system, but don't like the idea of an internal
file system.  The issue here is that I will probably want to use external
tools to create the external data, and will want to export the external
data from Monticello to an external file system when I come to deploy
(that's the point right?).  So the issue is how to provide a nice interface
to determining which external files are part of a package and in including
them in the externalization of a Monticello package (e.g. the zip format of
an mcz would seem to be adequate).

Good luck!  The one glaring hole in all the Smalltalk versioning systems
I've seen so far is the lack of support for external data.  I hope you
succeed!!
