If you look at org.exist.xquery.modules.expathrepo.InstallFunction (in
EXIST_HOME/extensions/modules/src), you should get the connection to
most of the used classes. Within a query, the eXist repository is
available through XQueryContext.getRepository(). Right now a
FileSystemStorage is used and I guess we would need to replace that
with our own implementation. FileSystemStorage is implemented within
the expath-pkg code:

http://expath-pkg.googlecode.com/svn/trunk

I hope this helps.
