Well, no... there isn't ( currently ) any way to extend a FS handler.
I can add it to 0.11, but I'd like someone to test it ( I will write
some contrived tests, of course, but it would be better to test it
in real world use, and it looks like you can do it :-) )
If you are willing to test it ( I can provide binary snapshots
compiled against wxWindows 2.2 and 2.3 ( pick one ) ),
contact me off-list.

Thanks!

I'm currently over my head with work to catch up so I can't guarantee that 
I'll have time to try it out, but I know I will need VFS functionality as 
soon as I get back to work on my Wx project. Do you mean there is no way to 
extend an _existing_ FS handler, or simply no way to create one (which I 
understand could amount to exactly the same) ?

If you get no testers in the days to come, get back to me off-list and I'll 
try to fit the testing into a small time hole :)

There is ( and probably there wull never be ) a way to _extend_ [1] an
existing wxWindows FS handler ( wxMemoryFSH, wxZipFSH, wxInternetFSH );
It is curently possible to use wxWindows C++ FS handlers. I'm implementing
the interfaces allowing the creation of customized FS handlers written in Perl.

I've got another tester, thanks for the offer, anyway!
