* Make RemoteFile far more pervasive, and use it for local files as well
  so that we can handle both transparently.  Make it shallow copy with
  reference counting, so it can be used by value without having to worry
  about the cache file lifetime.  Use RemoteFile for MainWindow file-open
  functions, etc
