This is what concerns me.  The VFS part is easier.  We can
just send patches to the sf project if necessary.  But we
are not equipped to maintain the virus scanning part.  That
is the real essential piece.

I see no gain in putting the code in our tree because it will
make it harder for the people maintaining the virus code
scanning portions.  We really have to break ourselves from
relying monolithic coding practices (IMO).
