This change makes 'fs' dependent on Java 7 :( as java.nio.file is not present in Java6 and older.
Yep, that's intentional @tbatchelli
OK, I wasn't sure if this was the goal, as the README say Java7 is required.

@tbatchelli Do you mean that the README should say that Java 7 is required? The reason that it doesn't at the moment is because @noprompt made a couple of other commits to fix fs to not require java 7 until we do a major version inc. Are you sure you've got the latest version?
I thought you said that it was intentional to require Java7.
I am using 1.4.4, and I see this is fixed in master now...

@tbatchelli I'm being cryptic. Sorry. Here's how it went down:
@noprompt Made those commits to add those features and such, but he didn't realize at the time that it made fs dependent on Java 7. I accepted the pull request knowing it'd break Java 7 support, but absentmindedly pushed a not-major version increment which broke everything for people not using Java 7. We fixed this promptly by releasing a new version, 1.4.5, that conditionally defines these things based on whether or not Java 7 is available.
However, doing this conditional stuff is a real pain in the ass, so with the next major version we will very likely remove support for Java < 7 entirely because nio has tons of helpful stuff we can make use of.
@raynes Thanks for clarifying. I didn't realize there was a 1.4.5 version out there, which should work for us :)
