Sara, what's the status on this? (version was weird, never saw this
before checking what people have now invented as version..)

I'll try looking for unencumbered information to develop a fix that
avoids GPL licensing complications first.

If it's indeed the result of a bug in the microsoft OS implementation
there should be sufficient information out there to develop a fix that
doesn't involve reusing restrictively licensed code.

Patch: http://mega.ist.utl.pt/~ncpl/php_win_touch_dirs.txt

Note: it includes a function that was adapted from Perl 5
(win_filetime_from_time). The Perl code is distributed under GPL (and
that file is (c) 1995 Microsoft Corporation), so I'm not sure if the
code can go in. That function just converts a time_t into microsoft's
format.

This is a bug in microsoft's utime implementation.
However, Perl is able to workaround this bug with SetFileTime(). I'll
see if I can cook a nice patch.

"Permission denied" means that the user which the script was run as
does not have permissions to do it. It's not a PHP bug.
