in CS (crystal space) where i took VFS from--

  // Look through all RPathV's for file or directory
  for (int i = 0; i < RPathV.Length (); i++)

so it goes through the real paths in mount order until
the operation succeeds.

this handles read-only archives (write fails) and multiple copies
of same file (takes first one).

Steve will design something he is comfortable with for PLIB
but I do think something like VFS is needed functionality
