[physfs] open for append & seek & write?

[Vaclav Vanc]

Platform is Linux i386
Look at this part of code:

char string[]="TEST";
PHYSFS_file *file = PHYSFS_openAppend("file.txt");

printf("%d\n",PHYSFS_tell(file));	//This print 0
PHYSFS_seek(file, 2);
printf("%d\n",PHYSFS_tell(file));	//This print 2
PHYSFS_write(file,  string, 1, 4);
printf("%d\n",PHYSFS_tell(file));	//This print 30 -end of the file

PHYSFS_close(file);

It looks I am able to seek, but only for reading. (not for writing...)
