That's true, I noticed in one place that it was easier to use the  
sword function than Qt class. But it would be even better if the  
library had "isModuleRemovable" and "isDestinationWritable" functions.  
The ideal implementation would check the whole tree (mods.d/,  
modules/* and all the files of a module). These are needed to check  
whether the given destination path is writable and whether a module  
can be uninstalled. This has been a problem for the frontends.

This is not directly related to dirent.h but is offtopic.
