Populate creation and modification dates from the filesystem

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Ideally the BasicMetadataLoader would read the creation and modification 
timestamps of the files and folders as they are on disk, and default the 
equivalent properties in the repository to those same values (for which there 
are separate challenges described in issue #4).

Currently this is not easily achieved in Java, although JSR 203 [1], slated for 
JDK 1.7 is supposed to address this.

For now I'll park this issue here, and revisit when/if JSR 203 sees the light 
of day.
