Summary: Add UNC support to file / dir

Initial Comment:
I''d like to see win32 support for UNC''s on the file management
level, i.e. FileUtils for Windows
Enable UNC support for the following (with recursive options please)

directory delete
file delete
file copy
directory copy
file move
directory move

Another option would be to add a ''map to driveletter'' method
(as once done, the existing FileUtils module works OK.)

Not sure is this should be a win32 request or a FileUtils request??

Graham

I believe I have the code to utilize WIN32OLE to handle the map-to-drive 
letter. If Daniel is interested I can submit it for review...

Actually, I just realized that win32.c already defines File.unlink and 
Dir.rmdir separately, so I''m not sure why they would fail (within 
FileUtils), so that''s not a Ruby specific issue I don''t think

Zach, please submit your code for review.

Thanks,

Dan

This is the raw code, how I use it currently. I can clean it up and make 
it meet any interfaces you''re looking for. I use this code on windows 
2000 and Windows xp workstations, I haven''t had an older version of 
windows around to test it on.

Let me know if any questions or comment. ttyl,

Zach
