I had intended to spend more time testing and weeding out issues with the api, 
but I spent so much of that time doing absolutely nothing that I just tried to 
get what I could into shape ::) And it shows that its a little mis-planned.. 
And still incomplete.. I really wanted to integrate the AL_PATH stuff into the 
fshook stuff more, so raw paths aren't used as much, but then I figured users 
might not appreciate being forced to use AL_PATH. So half of the idea behind 
having AL_PATH is no-more. And I didn't think people would like getting an 
AL_FS_ENTRY back from al_fs_readdir, but I'd really like to do that myself. 
Not to mention I planned al_get_path to have the "application name" 
automatically included in relevant paths, I think I've been "oked" for that 
one now. ramble ramble ramble...
