I have been thinking about writing a file manager for Genode. This has led me to some questions:

Is there already any file manager currently being written?

What is the best way of joining multiple filesystems into a single tree? (Or should I be doing something different?)

Which libraries/files/functions should I use? I think Boost Filesystems should be ported to Genode at some point, so I might want to use that. How difficult would that be? Or should not add that as a dependency?

What's the best way to scan a directory for files and other directories?

How much file type detection (and file preview) is safe?

Also, I may want to use threading. Are C++11 threads supported?
