First part of Osicat merge.

Is this really really necessary? It'd be nice to keep Osicat separated as a project so that multiple projects can easily use it. But it's your call, of course.

Not necessary but very convenient. My problem was this dependency chain: osicat(syscalls) <- iolib(file-path) <- osicat(high-level) <- iolib(zeta-streams). The way to break this mutual dependency chain was either to merge them or to break osicat in 2 separate libraries and iolib in a half-dozen libraries too. The former was a lot more convenient.
