Short term, I think it's okay to add FileDirectory>>quickerFileExists: 
to BFAV.  Then, as soon as Tim (or whoever) fixes 
FileDirectory>>fileExists: properly, remove quickerFileExists: and use 
fileExists: instead.

I assume that in your new version of BFAV, no existing methods in 
FileDirectory would be touched/overwritten, and only quickerFileExists: 
would be added (which is considerably safer than overwriting).
