Hmmm, at least GSI has its own homepage, wait, ...,
http://wouters.www.cistron.nl/gsi/gsi.html

I don't know about GII though

hmmmmm, perhaps "... is more or less the normal stdio/iostream with the
added capability to transparently handle files contained in WAD-like
archives"

This won't be much bloat. The iostream interface most likely will be a
variant of the usual iostream (well, fstream) interface that refers to the
stdio functions.

And it adds consistency to the entire thing (Why shouldn't have Layer O
a native FileAcces interface?) IMHO.
