Hi there,

The `Filesystem` class is located in the `HttpKernel` component which doesn't use it. This class is really useful but I don't want to add the whole `HttpKernel` component as a dependency in my projects (Propel2 for instance).
Moreover, this class isn't used in the `HttpKernel` component, actually the class is mostly used in the `FrameworkBundle` tests.

I suggest to move this class to its own component. It seems a bit overkill to create a component just for one class but this class is really useful, and should be provided as a standalone package.

I can work on that.

Thoughts?

Cheers,
William
