[Haskell-cafe] Catching up on Time and Directory

[Jon Fairbairn]

I'm probably terribly out of date with this, so I wonder if
anyone can save me the bother of working out what the
/preferred/ libraries are for (a) determining the
last-modified-time of a file or directory and (b) manipulating
the resulting time datum.

I can find System.Directory.getModificationTime and
Data.Time.formatTime, but using them together seems unduly
awkward.
