Joe, you _may_ be right. But from my experience I have found its the
other way. Filesystem manipulation is such a common programming task
that I thought someone must have done something for it.
boost::filesystem library is there though I still have to see if it
fits my requirements.

I believe its better not to reinvent the wheel.
