Details:

IN OSX 10.5 Apple deprecated various methods in NSFileManager adding new
methods with similar (though generally less powerful) ways to do the same
thing.
Mostly these mean having the new method fail and return an NSError object
rather than allowing a delegate to deal with problems.
We need to update the API to add the new methods ... probably best done by
implementing the new methods on top of the old ones, and having a delegate to
populate the NSError instance.
Time consuming, but not too hard ... should be doable by newcomers to the
project.
