 relativePathOf: pathname to: aBaseName

dummy for now ...

 splitExtensionFrom: aString

Splits aPathname string and answers the extension portion.
Answers the empty string if there is no extension.

 splitFilenameFrom: aPathnameString

not certain.

 splitPath: aString

Splits aPathname string into its path, stem and extension components and answers
a four element Array of these.
Note: We use the C-runtime library to implement this, hence either backward or forward
slashes (i.e. $\ or $/) are acceptable as pathname delimiters.

Usage example(s):

File splitPath: '\\exept\cg\home\smalltalk\st_free\pocketSmalltalk\ide1.5\pst.pac'

 splitPathFrom: aPathnameString

Splits aPathname string and answers the path portion (including the drive letter, if any).
Answers the empty String if there is no path.
