I haven't done file I/O, but I have written a function in plperlu
which connects to another pgsql database, so I think you can probably
do just about anything you want in the untrusted version.

Looking at the replication project(s) is still on my 'to do' list, but
I figure if I have to I can write trigger procedures to implement
master/slave databases.
