Hi
FilePath is indeed quite nice. You might also want to look at System.Path and its submodules in MissingH (API docs at [1]).
I've got some stuff that FilePath doesn't, namely making paths absolute, wildcard matching/globbing, and also a function that converts a POSIX wildcard into a regexp.
FilePath did have a function that made paths absolute, but it got removed as its already in the base libraries: http://haskell.org/hoogle/?canonicalizePath Wildcard matching/globbing was intentionally left out, so as to have less disagreements when trying to put it in to base :) Thanks Neil
