[gollem] Gollem Driver Changes

Some of these - like getFileList(), in some form or another - should be 
implemented in the VFS system, and I mean to do so. The sorting is a toss-
up, but there's nothing to say that Gollem couldn't sort files returned 
from the VFS.

Basically, the current VFS is pretty basic, and the API is _far_ from 
complete - a lot of what you're talking about simply needs to be 
added/implemented there.

All of this is stuff I hope to have time for in the next few weeks, but so 
far, you're just moving faster than me. :)
