Well, worms or no, I put out a first draft of the project today. The
gem should seed in about an hour.

  $ sudo gem install folio

The website has quick and dirty README that is not 100% in sync with
the API yet, but it give the overall idea nonetheless:

  http://folio.rubyforge.org

Note that this is very very very much an alpha release. The api _will_
change. But the overall design structure is in place, so you can see
how it basically works.

I have a few issues to workout:

  * What methods to provide to return a list of file names, versus
file objects, versus an enumerator of file objects.
  * Whether dryrun, verbose, etc. modes should propagate from the
"prompt" object into the file objects.
  * Is there a better name for Prompt? (Cursor maybe?)
  * Best name for file object classes: File instead of Document?
Folder instead of Directory?
