hi,

for those (like me) who find checking for file existence via
stat/lstat a little inconvenient, I've committed a new function
"ftest"
in main/io, somewhat modelled after the bash "test" function. For
example, to check
that a regular file ./script.sh exists and is readable and executable
to the current user, one does:
ftest('./script.sh','f','rx')

regards,
