return error codes for platform-independent API routines? #260

from an email:

Unfortunately, primarily in order to present a platform-independent interface, there is no error code returned. I've wanted dr_create_dir() to return error codes in the past as well (though for my purposes supporting dr_directory_exists() on Linux as well as Windows would suffice): looks like you want them for dr_open_file().

it's not clear what the best solution is: whether to define a platform-independent set of error codes and translate, or just have a way to get the platform-specific code and consider it a corner case part of the API
