Write blockCopy's first version
Wow it's like being a proud parent. This software is written for exactly one purpose: to mount an encrypted volume on Google Drive with reasonably good performance. It's based around the idea that the fastest thing for Google Drive is reading and writing whole files, so we break a file up into blocks and transfer only whole blocks. It works, but it's still really slow.

+# blockcopy
+This program emulates a filesystem with only one file, which it writes in
+blocks into a directory. The use case is to mount an encrypted volume on Google
+Drive. I bet it'd be really fast with goofys.
