Cool :-).

Correct.

A partial implementation could be done. Also, whoever does it needs to talk 
to Axel. He's interested in moving the query parser into BQuery.

I'm afraid I don't. I did a tiny bit of looking around and came up with 
nothing. If worst comes to worse we may be able to figure it out by playing 
around with QuickRes and watching what happens to the executable when we 
add, rename, remove resources, etc.

We should see if anyone on the main OpenBeOS list or BeDevTalk could be of 
any help, though.

Actually, yes. Why don't you take over BPath? I'm basically done with 
BEntry, but I need to round out the tests for it quite a bit. Plus I'm 
finding myself a bit short on free time this quarter.
