I'm trying to set (at the very least) the modified time of a file on my file 
system. Right now, I need to do this in Windows, but I can imagine the need 
in other OS's later on.

I know there is not a way to do this in Tango right now, and I have 
submitted a request for inclusion. However, is there another D library out 
there that might actually allow me to do this?

stat is available in Tango too, but he requested a method to do it via the
FilePath interface.
