As you asked, separet issue for this feature.

Maybe you could make bootstrap like styling for file input using http://www.filamentgroup.com/lab/jquery_custom_file_input_book_designing_with_progressive_enhancement/ ?

With that, just like with regular inputs you could make width controling styles span1 - span12 as custom input does not work well with auto size width.

I used this method before in some of my projects, worked quite nice. There is only a small bug with IE (I don't remember if it was 6 or 7) with flowing input which was few px further than end of input so clicking wasn't woring at the edge. I dod some fix some time ago, I'll look for it.
