/**
 * Preferences implementation for Unix.  Preferences are stored in the file
 * system, with one directory per preferences node.  All of the preferences
 * at each node are stored in a single file.  Atomic file system operations
 * (e.g. File.renameTo) are used to ensure integrity.  An in-memory cache of
 * the "explored" portion of the tree is maintained for performance, and
 * written back to the disk periodically.  File-locking is used to ensure
 * reasonable behavior when multiple VMs are running at the same time.
 * (The file lock is obtained only for sync(), flush() and removeNode().)
