This is a module of cross-platform file handling for Unix\/Mac\/Windows.

The standard module "System.Directory" and "System.FilePath" have
following shortcomings:

* getModificationTime exists in "System.Directory". But getAccessTime,
  getChangeTime, getCreationTime do not exist.

* getModificationTime returns obsoleted type, 'ClockTime'. It should
  return modern type, 'UTCTime', I believe.

* Some file functions are missing. A function to tell the link counter,
  for instance.

* Path separator is not unified. Even though Windows accepts \'\/\' as a
  file separator, getCurrentDirectory in "System.Directory" returns \'\\\'
  as a file separator. So, we need to specify regular expression like
  this: \"[\/\\\\]foo[\/\\\\]bar[\/\\\\]baz\".

* getHomeDirectory returns @HOMEDRIVE@\/@HOMEPATH@ instead of the @HOME@
  environment variable on Windows.

This module aims to resolve these problems and provides:

* 'getModificationTime', 'getAccessTime', 'getChangeTime', and
  'getCreationTime'. They return 'UTCTime'.

* 'isSymlink', 'getLinkCount', and 'hasSubDirectories'.

* \'\/\' as the single 'pathSeparator'. For instance,
  'getCurrentDirectory' returns a path whose separator is \'\/\'
  even on Windows.

* 'getHomeDirectory2' which refers the @HOME@ environment variable.

* Necessary functions in "System.Directory" and "System.FilePath".
