To summarise the situation:

- The 1.0.0 filer will work with the old Archive only,
- Recent CVS filer wouldn't work with anything (oops!),
- Current CVS (as of yesterday afternoon) should work with old and new
  Archive. Hopefully.

Well, I'll probably rewrite savebox in python then. The advantage is that
there's no compiling so it's easier to install.

xsay will have to go, or be replaced with something more sensible.

Is anyone using dropbox? The kind of simple apps that use it can be done
pretty easily using the filer's drop handling...
