IdPv3: backing file mechanism for remote resources defined in services.xml?

[Rod Widdowson]

I'll need to research what Spring supports (but I suspect nothing).  We took
the FilebackedHttpResource out from V2 because we (I) couldn't see the use
case, and you've just found it.

I suspect that this can be brought forward, but configuration might be
unpleasant (along the lines of the SVN resource example).

Thanks
