Directory.renameFile broken under windows
According to the library report, renameFile should succed
even if the target file already exists. Under windows it
fails with:
Fail: already exists
Action: renameFile
Reason: File exists
File: foo
(ghc 6.0 and 6.0.1)
The reason seems to be that it uses the rename library
call directly, which indeed fails if the target exists:

A solution might involve MoveFileEx(old, new,
MOVEFILE_REPLACE_EXISTING) ?Trac metadata
