Yes. Mark, you are cool ;-)
I havn't had a chance to test it yet, but I like the look of this patch.
If I understand it correctly, by calling scandir() on each directory
that class/java files are to be read from, and then searching the
directory entries to determine existance of a file, you may actually
have also solved the os X/cygwin case insensitive file system bug, or at
least gone a long way towards it!

I'm all for putting this on the branch, as long as noone else finds any
major problems or risks associated with it.
