Why not use the metafile? It already has an entry for every file/dir
in a directory. The housekeeping code for it is already in place.
Biggest changes would be to extend it with more data, and to use it
to "speculatively" layout the icons when a directory is entered.

If a medusa query could be used for this easily, I guess we'd
already have virtual folders :)
