Actually if you look in the QFileEngine it is quite easy to extract that code
out for listing directories and make is NOT dependent on Qt but only C or stuff
that comes with Visual Studio. I know because I had to do it for a project. The
GPL license made me chuck it though. So in reality this should not be a show
stopper. I'd be happy to donate the code that I did have. It mimics the Qt API
as much as it could.
And I have lots of questions as to why any of this is even necessary but
those are for another conversation.
