        Heh - systemcalls are ~free compared to forking I think - as Norbert
says I think you may end up with path problems.

        Fun :-)

        Incidentally, there is a remake.c (touch_file) method there already, I
guess if we split the innards of that out and re-used them then we'd at
least have this working for all the super-odd operating systems that
make supports: AIX, Amiga etc. ;-) prolly more likely to go up-stream
like that.

        I'm encouraged by Tor's 'file' find as well I guess.

        All the best,

                Michael.
