I believe this fix relies on a file system behaviour that is not universal,
that is the mtime of a directory is updated whenever a file in it is
modified. Of the file systems I have on my machine here (FAT, HPFS, JFS)
only JFS does this. I'll probably have to special case this on OS/2 as HPFS
is the most commonly used file system on it. JFS is only available on the
latest server version of OS/2, v4.5 aka "Warp Server for e-business".
