:Is Libcaps the API that will be geared towards doing such things as moving
:implementations of say cd9660 or other file systems or VFS services to
:userland?

:I realize it's not there yet and that the VFS work also hasn't been done but
:I am wondering if this is the purpose of libcaps.

Not as currently embodied in libcaps. What I am implementing now is
a far more generic LWKT based messaging API + namespace rendezvous.
I wasn't intending on using it for VFS but now that you mention it it
could probably serve as a basis or, with a little additional work,
because the API for that too.
