Description

Hello again.

This lib could be intergallactically awesome if dependent only on pure-js node libraries, so it can run on every OS node is running on. How difficult it is to make it this way?
You mentioned previously building `.DS_Dtore`.
What are the other problems to address?

If this is relatively easy I might be interested in contributing to this effort.
