The serialisation code of NSFileWrapper still has the FIXME comment in 
it, that I put there, when the class was implemented four years ago. So 
if you want a MacOSX compatiple implementation just go for it. Or if you 
don't have the time for it, provide a detailed description on how Apple 
serialises the different object types for this class and maybe somebody 
takes up this task.
