I understand some people have started fixing up FileDirectory et al.

Does the changeset of my previous email fix BFAV sufficiently, in the
meantime?

Further, can I take it that those who know better than I agree with Brent
Vukmer's comment that "I have to say, I don't see how quickerFileExists:
(with your fixes, Frank) could hurt anybody.." ?

I'd like to get this changeset into BFAV pronto, if it's sensible.
