[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #57439] handles to private functions may fail after "clear functions"

[Markus Mützel]

Follow-up Comment #46, bug #57439 (project octave):

If we are only interested in whether a file or folder of the given name
exists, it might be more efficient on Windows to call GetFileAttributesW [1]
and check the return value against INVALID_FILE_ATTRIBUTES.

Not sure what an equivalent function call on Linux would be. But if stat'ing
is fast there, we could continue doing that.
