Convert Files to and from Binary Objects (BLOBs)
Converts files to and from flobs.
A flob is a file that was
read into binary in integer-mode as little endian,
saved as the single element of a named list (where the name is the extension
of the original file) and then serialized before being coerced into a blob.
Flobs are useful for writing and reading files to and from databases.

Process Synchronization Using File Locks
Implements synchronization between R processes (spawned by using the "parallel" package for instance) using file locks. Supports both exclusive and shared locking.
