I don't know, don't read into what I said.  My only point is that currently
there are only 2 ways for an outside script to get files into a Myth Storage
Group directory.  #1 is copy the file into the directory manually. #2 is to
download the file and then 'upload' the file into Myth using the myth://
URI.  Eventually there will be a #3 which will be 'tell the backend to
download the file from the internet itself and automatically drop it into
a Storage Group'.  #3 will allow the external script to take itself out of
the loop as far as the download goes, it will just instruct the backend to
to do the downloading.  #1 and #2 will continue to work as options, but #3
makes life easier on the script write and doesn't need direct access to
the filesystem or directories in the Storage Group.
