In early Jigsaw development we wanted to allow for the possibility that
the base module might not include java.nio.file, so the SimpleLibrary
class was implemented using the sad old java.io.File class.

Having gotten much further along in the modularization exercise we now
have java.nio.file in the base module, and it's most likely there to
stay.  So at some point we'll make a pass through all the code and
convert uses of the old API to the new one.
