I have another patch as well now... one that removes FileInfo
completely. I'll post that after making a test compile and lookint it over.
btw. We have lots and lots of filesystem-race conditions. Most often
these does not matter much, but we should plan to get rid of them...
fs::exists(foo) && fs::is_directory(foo) is actually racy and can
result in an unwanted exeption since foo can have been deleted between
the call to exists and the call to is_directory.
