By the way, g_file_test conflicts with the g_file_test in libgnome.  So if we
don't want to have weird silent bugs from the 2.0 port (because the new
g_file_test does have different semantics), it should be named differently
anyway.

Also I suppose there should a test for regular file (libgnome:
G_FILE_TEST_ISREG)
