 * Don't rely on the existence of SEEK_CUR, SEEK_END, SEEK_SET -- rather, define our own enum for this and convert all client code to use it.
-* Try to replace all usages of paths by FilesystemNode. In particular, Engine::_gameDataPath and File::addDefaultDirectory() will have to be adjusted. The idea behind this is to ease portability.
+* Try to replace all usages of paths by FilesystemNode. In particular, Engine::_gameDataPath and File::addDefaultDirectory() will have to be adjusted. The idea behind this is to ease portability. Or, come up with a completely new system for this (see also recent discussions on scummvm-devel).
-* Consider removing write support from class File completely. After all, we do not support writing to data files on many platforms anyway. There are only three things for which we need writable files:
-*# Savegames -- but for those we already have the SavefileManage, so no problem
-*# Resources dumps -- useful for debugging. To support those, we could add a new DumpFile class, which simply does nothing on systems which don't support this
-*# Config file -- this one is the trickiest. The best approach is probably to make the actual reading/writing of the config file adjustable by the backend. This would also help to reduce the #ifdef hell in config-manager.cpp (see also the [[Modular Backends]] plans).
