There was a thread recently comparing them, you should read it to get  
Walter and Matthews opinions on the topic.

It should be fairly simple to write a function to produce a DirEntry, you  
could give it a go yourself. Heck, I might give it a go if I have time. I  
get the impression Walter is concentrating on the compiler as opposed to  
Phobos at the moment which might explain why std.file is a very basic  
implementation at present.
