Anyway, our FileName class is largely based on the QFileInfo class,

If I remember correctly, the reason to use QFileInfo had been to
resolve worries about different links that point to the same physical
file. Maybe what we need to do, then, is deal with that problem in a
different way. But I'm not sure.

And a second disadvantage of the QFileInfo class is that it is very
unclear when it accesses the filesystem and how you can avoid that in
cases you don't need to.
It's a bit difficult to see how it can be cleaned up. There is a code
that depends on the Qt version, the OS, the purpose, absolute/relative etc.
