It will support any thing a backend is written for. Currently
finishing up the file backend and then I will be releasing it.

The initial supported functions are going to be as below.

chdir
chown
chmod
close
eof
getc
getpos
mimetype
read
readAll
setpos
write

"readAll" and "mimetype" are two non-standard ones. "readAll"
simplifies reading all of a handle with out a loop. "mimetype"
returns the preferred MIME type of handle.
