IMO, it should
	- handle normal filesystem activities including file removal.
or
	- be a plain hash code which is completely independent
	  from filesystems.  (like hashinit)

my main concern is, unless metahook handle filesystem activities as its own,
your new users of it might end up to put their own adhoc hooks into
vfs code as veriexec does.
