cmFileSys : A collection of file system utility functions.

Note that cmFileSysInitialize() creates an internal cmLHeapH_t based heap manager from which it allocates memory for some returned objects. (e.g. cmFileSysMakeFn(), cmFileSysPathParts(), cmFileSysDirEntries()) Where possible the client can explicitely free these objects via the provided functions. (e.g. cmFileSysFreeFn(), cmFileSysFreePathParts(), cmFileSysDirFreeEntries()) However if these objects are not free they will be automatically deallocated when the internal heap is destroyed by cmFileSysFinalize().
