That won't work either. Both QFSFileEngine and QFileSystemEngine operate on an 
open file handle.

You may be able to trick Qt by opening the directory with _wopen and giving 
QFile that handle. You can't read or write but it might work.

I'm assuming you only care about Windows. You can't set the file's birth time 
on Linux: the only way to do that is to delete the file and create another.
