Description

Changing the machine name portion of an  sftp:// url in the minibuffer results in a freeze as the vfs attempts to locate the machine. Need to implement the filename completion as a background process.

Huh. This may be tougher than I thought, because the itools vfs isn't threadsafe.

Maybe an easy rewrite would be for the vfs.* methods to be looked up in a global instance of a class that encompasses what is now a bunch of globals, and also provide a vfs.getThreadsafeInstance call that returns a new instance of the vfs.* methods that can safely be used in a new thread.
