mogilefs module 1.0.2

[Michael Shadle]

Are there any limitations on file size?

What's the largest you've tested with?

Can the domain be an nginx $variable?

Where does $mogilefs_path come from? Is that a field that comes from  
the upload form? Perhaps that negates the need for the last question  
then... Although it allows the client to mess with the post field and  
alter the location.
