Yeah, this is a known problem. I've been purposely holding off until all
the Path functionality was done. That's complete now so I'm starting to
think about making the interface less sucky. We're probably going to
model it after java.io.File which has a pretty clean interface. As for
the permission bits, this is just needed for llvm-ar whose file format
dictates that it have mode bits. There might be some opportunity for
cleaning that up as well. If you have any specific suggestions for
improving the Path interface, I'm all ears.

Also, thanks for completing the Win32 Path implementation.

Reid.
