A remark for this: once you have a 1:1 representation of data structs and fs, you could use Uriels shifs to develop a better highlevel fs-structure (instead of editing the source code all along and changing the fs hierarchy with each release) - you could even supply different kinds of fs-structures as a front-end access. -- Anselm R.
