[development] inline files. last desparate attempt.

[Ber Kessels]

well,

There is betterupload project that i presented @ drupalcon. Due to all the 
LAstMinute47 changes it is completely and utterly b0rken right now. 

Note that all the wishes and so stated below are dealt with in that project. 
On a lower level. As Drupal APIS and hooks and so.

Note also that I am not building this for core. But as contrib, that /can/ 
replace the core filehandling completely.
