I agree.
Such a nice module including a lot of features for working with filesystem
and handling incompatibilites would definitly be useful.
I'm ok for merging, as long as you don't append a reference to the Unix
module : actually Path is manipulating "virtual" paths and then does not
need to rely on the filesystem function. Having some functions in other
module relying on path is ok.

You can proceed the merge and post it on this list (including a clear MLI
interface), I'm sure there is other people here that might be interested.
