Figuring out iOS' file system.

In my efforts to work on porting the GFile library to iOS, it has proven challenging for me to get a grip on apple's obfuscated file system for iOS. Although there are many ways to handle file I/O, there seems to be very few that allow raw access to directories and reading/writing to these, not to mention apple's security protocols that do not like random access to these locations. Some of apple requirements have made me wonder if maybe I would end up rewriting these libraries instead. Time will tell.

During these travels, I have stumbled upon many great ways to manage files for all my future needs on this environment, none that would make my life easier though, at least not in the near future. On the bright side, Apple has proven to be a merciful and understanding software god when it comes to documentation, so hope is not lost.

Also ran into some issues with the gateware libraries themselves, which led me to generate a separate test environment while I figure it out. Not a huge setback for now, but I know that sooner rather than later I will have to wrestle my way in there... 

In the meanwhile, time to learn about CMake... yay...
