win32utils devel - Nov 2012 - Breaking up win32-file

As I''m converting win32-file to use FFI, I think it needs to be
reworked. Right now it''s a bit of a monster and hard to maintain.
I''d
like to ease the maintenance and testing burden. So, I''m thinking of
splitting it into these 3 separate libs:

win32-file-attributes: Only deals with getting and setting Windows
file attributes - normal, compressed, readonly, etc.
win32-file-security: Deals with ACL''s, encryption, etc.
win32-file: Everything else. Extra methods and redefined methods.

Seem reasonable?

Regards,

Dan

I think you can also keep compatibility by pre-requiring the other libs
in win32-file lib.
