Description

If you do a:

from("file://inbox?recursive=true").to("file:outbox");

Then the files stored in the outbox will have exact same folder structure as the inbox, eg

outbox/hello.txt
outbox/sub/bye.txt
outbox/foo/bar/baz.txt

We should add a flattern option, so you can do:

from("file://inbox?recursive=true&flattern=true").to("file:outbox");

So the files is stored as:

outbox/hello.txt
outbox/bye.txt
outbox/baz.txt

We could introduce somekind of API for the flattern so end users can provide their own impl. to compute a filename they like.
