If you want to add it back in, be my guest - it just means putting off the same work until later though.  Except then it will probably be even more difficult since more time will pass allowing the API to become even more entrenched.  We intended to change or remove the tests (some of the tests seem to exist only to test this feature; it would be strange to add the feature just to make those tests work).  As for the other stuff, the temp file API needs to be fixed up a bit to allow for those components to be ported (remember that this is an unfinished prototype).  I think the quick/easy fix would be a mistake here.
