    TODO:

    1. support for drives under Windows
    2. more file operations:
        a) chmod()
        b) [acm]time() - get and set
        c) file size
        d) file permissions with readable accessors for most common bits
           such as IsReadable() &c
        e) rename()?
    3. SameFileAs() function to compare inodes under Unix
