I guess I had a similar problem with my version control stuff. In VCSBase
and DAVDeltavBase I'm using Oberon Texts which aren't available on Bluebottle.
So I sort of "bluebottled" them. On ketchup:FAT:/es/httproot/dav you can find
es.DAVObjects.Mod, es.DAVFonts.Mod and es.DAVTexts.Mod which especially don't
depend on Native Files any more.
I'm not sure but perhaps this could be useful to you.

Cheers, Edgar
