[e-lang] Patch to add inputStream/outputStream methods to File

[Mark Miller]

After looking them over, I have committed both of your patches without
modification. That race condition issue was tricky, thanks!

I have also committed some other cosmetic cleanups.

Tom, Terry just committed a change to Causeway so that it shuts down properly.
