A slow luxury, unfortunately ! When running this in JProfiler, 90% of 
the time was spent in HTTP request/response sending & handling...

A cooler way of presenting this would be a fuse based approach, but 
since this is only a prototype I didn't have the time.

I also write a shell, supporting commands like ls, cd, pwd, mkdir, etc, 
but then again, my main focus is JGroups... :-)
