No, no, no.  Keep the core minimal.  File manipulation routines should be
an include file, as it is now.  By all means improve the cross-platform
compatibility, but keep anything that doesn't absolutely need to be part of
the core out of it.  That's one of the key points that makes Euphoria 
different and better than other languages.
