no way to construct a File from a Fid

[GoogleCodeExporter]

if you get a Fid from say, clnt.Auth, it is practically useless. i would like 
to pass the auth fid to factotum, but my factotum library needs a io.ReadWriter 
to speak to the server. you can't simply construct a File from a Fid, which 
would meet the io.ReadWriter interface.

I don't have time to look into this, but I would gladly accept a patch.

Thanks.
