Annoying file-system "stub" functions

When what's now OpenMCL was first ported to VxWorks/LinuxPPC, a number of MCL-specific file-system functions (CCL:DIRECTORYP, until recently CCL:COPY-FILE, CCL:LOCK-FILE, others ?) were left largely undefined (they just call BREAK when called.) There's a bit more filesystem and FFI infrastructure in OpenMCL now than there was then; these things should all be found and cleaned up. Most or all of these things would behave a bit differently in OpenMCL than they did in MCL; some of them might behave differently on differently platforms (e.g., Jaguar implemens lockf, but documents it as providing "advisory" locking.)
