Saves to absolute paths should now work. The current approach is to
save the file to "filename~" then rename(2)-it to its final destination.
There is still some work left to be done to make sure data is not
visible to unauthorized eyes. The file permissions / ownership should
be restored if possible. Symlinks are currently not handled correctly
(i.e. they are broken after a save) etc.
