[Cuis] Wrapper for file access in different Smalltalk dialects

[Juan Vuletich]

Hi Folks,

I apologize for talking before taking even a quick look, but anyway, 
We'd take a good look at this. And seriously consider replacing files 
stuff in Cuis base. Or at least adopting it as a core package in our repo.

Thoughts?

Masashi-san: opinions?

Thanks,
Juan Vuletich
