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.

Description:
------------
<?php touch('non-existing-file'); ?> - Correct. Creates a new file.
<?php touch('existing-file'); ?> - Correct. Changes file's mtime.
<?php touch('existing-directory'); ?> - Wrong on Win2K. Does not change
directory's mtime. Correct on Linux. I did not test any other Win32
platforms. Filesystem: NTFS. The user running the script owns
'existing-directory'. safe_mode=Off.
Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php touch('existing-directory'); ?>
Expected result:
----------------
Change mtime of an existing directory.
Actual result:
--------------
Utime failed: Permission denied in <fullpath/to/existing-directory> on
line 1
