LOL :)

Here's a little something, not exactly what you wanted but you might find  
it useful.

main.d
etc\direntry.d
etc\stat.d

It uses 'stat' which has some limitations. I do not think it handles  
unicode filenames or files larger than int.max in size. MSDN defines  
_stati64 etc which, I believe, use M$ specific 64 bit integers to overcome  
the file size problem. Of course, DMC and thus DMD does not have access to  
these functions.
