+
+ Further fs updates. After examining the most common Tcl
+ extensions (TclX, BLT, Tk, TclPro, Mktclapp), it has been
+ determined that only TclpGetCwd and the Access/Stat/Open
+ insert/delete hooks of the internal fs functions are ever used.
+ The remaining functions from Tcl's internal interfaces have
+ therefore been removed, since Tcl now exports a more suitable
+ public API (Tcl_FS...)
+
+ * generic/tclInt.stubs:
+ * generic/tclInt.h: updated for removed internal functions.
+ Some new internal functions have been put in tclInt.h (and
+ not exported in the stub table because good public equivalents
+ exist).
+ * generic/tclTest.c: some test functions used the internal private
+ APIs. These tests have been retained, but modified to use
+ public APIs. Also objectified the internal filesystem tests.
+ * win/tclWinFile.c: removed TclpStat, TclpAccess and refactored
+ code to use NativeAccess, NativeStat. This should speed up
+ stat, access and glob commands.
+ * win/tclWinFCmd.c: removed all TclpCopy/Rename/Delete
+ File/Directory string-based procedures which aren't used any more.
+ Improved efficiency of some other procedures. Ensure that filename
+ conversions with a NULL interp do not crash Tcl.
+ * mac/tclMacFCmd.c: wrapped long lines and cleaned up
+ TclpObjNormalizePath, removed all TclpCopy/Rename/Delete
+ File/Directory string-based procedures which aren't used any more.
+ * mac/tclMacFile.c: removed obsolete TclpStat, TclpAccess, TclpChdir,
+ etc.
+ * unix/tclUnixFCmd.c: removed use of TclpAccess, removed all
+ TclpCopy/Rename/Delete File/Directory string-based procedures which
+ aren't used any more.
+ * unix/tclUnixFile.c: removed obsolete TclpStat, TclpAccess, TclpChdir,
+ etc.
+ * tcl(Unix|Mac|Win)Chan.c: objectified TclpOpenFileChannel.
+ * various 'load' implementations all objectified.
+ * generic/tclFileName.c: removed redundant code.
+ * generic/tclIOUtil.c: removed TclStat, TclAccess, TclpListVolumes.
+ Fix to MatchInDirectory at the root of a volume. Also improved
+ some documentation, and improved default path joining behaviour
+ for virtual filesystems, especially regarding '~'.
+ * tests/fileName.test: added tests to check for bugs fixed above.
+ * doc/FileName.3: improved documentation
