It can't be done with current file stores. It should
be easy to implement a read-only store on a file system.
However I expect all kind of difficulties for
a write-enabled store. Mkcol and PUT should be
doable, but how to implement PROPATCH, ACLs and locks,
not to talk about versioning.
Also remember to disable caching, if other
programs access the file system too. This might
hit the performance to point, that the store becomes
unusable.
