The Synchronet file IO interface is actually more flexable and powerful than
any of the ones you mentioned (they don't do file range locking or share modes
for example) and tend to be POSIX-centric for the additional features they
support.

If you want serious cross-platform file manipulation, it's hard to beat
Synchronet's object model.  Of course, you're tying youself to Synchonet then,
but I absolutely wouldn't say you'll be "better off" doing those parts in a
different JS engine.
