[Interest] QFileDevice::fileTime and QFileDevice::setFielTime

[Scott Bloom]

I have a non qfile based solution working. The problem i see, is the qt file device is too file centric for this bit of functionality.  IMO it should be in qfileinfo, or on qdir as well as qfile

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.
