Summary0000265: long path handling in io module
Description"io.file_type" uses "_wstat" in C grade, but *stat didn't support long names on Windows OS (> 260)
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en/vcgeneral/thread/3c093ea9-f0aa-446d-b648-2dabe8480430
It may be fixed by using "FindFirstFileW" with "\\?\" file name prefix instead of "_wstat".

Also, other functions in io module (open_input -> mercury_open -> _wfopen) may be can't handle long path.
Steps To Reproduceunpack test_dir.tar, change path to unpacked directory in bugl program, compile and run

test_dir.tar can be unpacked without errors with with 7-Zip to disk root directory (c:\, d:\ or other).

Also dir.recursive_foldl2 and dir.foldl2 can fail on inaccessible dir (no rights to read files list). Possible fix is to skip inaccessible file or dir (see dir.diff).
