Subject: utime() and symbolic links
Utime() does not work correctly with symbolic links, since it is not
possible to "open" them; instead the file they point to is touched. I
think there should really be a native utime() provided by the file
system, and Fcntl(FUTIME) (and Fdatime) should only be used to
implement futime(), or if the file system doesn't implement utime()
directly. That would also mean that we don't need a Dcntl() for
utime() on directories.
