[drupal-devel] file attachment storage

[Robert Douglass]

The "famous Craig patch" is even better than that; a full functioning 
module that you can install and use right away to manage your uploads. 
You could probably also rewrite image module to use it instead of the 
current file API.

it works with the attachment module to basically do what the upload 
module in core currently does.
