To resurrect an old thread, version 0.3.1 is now BSD3-licensed, for your 
hacking pleasure, and updated to work with GHC 6.8.1.

Unfortunately, the portable System.Directory API is fairly crippled.  I 
gather there's a unix-compat package for Windows now, which might get 
you closer to a usable API.  If you find that you can get the two 
working happily, please send a patch or two.  (Unfortunately, I don't 
have time to hack Haskell on Windows myself.)

Thanks,
