+/**
+ * This implementation is taylored to keeping track of a single DnD transfer by maintaining two separate entities,
+ * namely a list of root entries and a list of (recursive file system) transfer ojects to actually transfer.
+ *
+ * The list of root entries is sent to the target (guest/host) beforehand so that the OS has a data for the
+ * actual drag'n drop operation to work with. This also contains required header data like total number of
+ * objects or total bytes being received.
+ *
+ * The list of transfer objects only is needed in order to sending data from the source to the target.
+ * Currently there is no particular ordering implemented for the transfer object list; it depends on IPRT's RTDirRead().
+ *
+ * The target must not know anything about the actual (absolute) path the root entries are coming from
+ * due to security reasons. Those root entries then can be re-based on the target to desired location there.
+ *
+ * All data handling internally is done in the so-called "transport" format, that is, non-URI (regular) paths
+ * with the "/" as path separator. From/to URI conversion is provided for convenience only.

+ * Memory allocator
+ * ----------------
+ *
+ * Area [0; AreaSize) contains only the data, control structures are separate.
+ * Block sizes are power of 2: 32B, ..., 1MB
+ * Area size can be anything and will be divided initially to largest possible free blocks.
+ *
+ * The entire area is described by a list of 32 bit block descriptors:
+ *  * bits 0..3  - order, which is log2 size of the block - 5: 2^(0+5) ... 2^(15+5) == 32B .. 1MB
+ *  * bit  4     - 1 for free blocks.
+ *  * bits 5..31 - block offset.
+ *
+ * 31 ... 5 | 4 | 3 ... 0
+ *  offset    F   order
+ *
+ * There is a sorted collection of all block descriptors
+ * (key is the block offset, bits 0...4 do not interfere with sorting).
+ * Also there are lists of free blocks for each size for fast allocation.
+ *
+ *
+ * Implementation
+ * --------------
+ *
+ * The blocks collection is a sorted linear list.
+ *
+ * Initially the entire area consists of one or more largest blocks followed by smaller blocks:
+ *  * 100B area - 64B block with descriptor: 0x00000011
+ *                32B block with descriptor: 0x00000030
+ *                4B unused
+ *  * 64K area  - one 64K block with descriptor: 0x0000001C
+ *  * 512K area - one 512K block with descriptor: 0x0000001F
+ *
+ * When allocating a new block:
+ *  * larger free blocks are splitted when there are no smaller free blocks;
+ *  * smaller free blocks are merged if they can build a requested larger block.
