[boost] Re: Filesystem Library: Formal Review

Small question;

would it be hard to write a 'package' implementation having the FileSystem
Library interface? What I mean is that you supply a file as a 'package of
files', which acts as a local file system. Packages ease distribution, and
having one interface for both normal file system handling, and dealing with
packages of files would be nice.

However, possibly a 'package' system is beyond the scope of this library.
Maybe it deserves a library of its own. Giving it the same interface would
still be nice though.

Anyway, just wondering how hard it would be.
