No news and no reply from Daniel.

I think we have to assume that SE 1.2 won't be moving in the necessary
direction.

So I will use UNIX_FILE_INFO for now. (We can always back-track later
- I will only be using it in one class for now).

So, starting with a file name, I could simply call {FILE}.make and
then file_info. Or do ypu want to add the facility into KI_FILE?
