great!

doesn't matter too much as that will get updated anyway next time
callcatcher tool is run.
(also, unusedcode.easy only shows the situation on Linux, see below...)

these "tools" things are wicked, and have traps prepared for the unwary;
it turns out that both DirEntry::GetDevice() and FileStat::FileStat(void
const*) have 2 implementations, and the WNT one is actually used in
WNT-only code:

> tools/source/fsys/dirent.cxx:        aFromDevice=aFromDevice.GetDevice();
> tools/source/fsys/dirent.cxx:        aToDevice=aToDevice.GetDevice();

> tools/source/fsys/wntmsc.cxx:            pTemp->ImpSetStat( new FileStat( (void*) pDosDir ) );
> tools/source/fsys/wntmsc.cxx:                FileStat *pNewStat = new FileStat( (void*) pDosDir );

(and one of these is inside an "#ifdef FEAT_FSYS_DOUBLESPEED" ... you
can't make these things up i guess...)

so i've only applied and pushed the part of these patches that removes
the Unix implementation (that should hopefully deter people from adding
new callers...); please try to be more careful next time (though
admittedly checking that generally is a PITA given how name lookup works
in C++)

patches to remove the tools/fsys trainwreck completely and adapt callers
to use osl/file.hxx would be appreciated of course :)

thanks for the patches,
 michael

afraid you're probably too late :-P
