on w32, we cannot use open() to detect whether a directory exists (as it will always fail). instead this patch uses access() (which should be faster than a full open()/close() cycle on other platforms as well).
unicode support makes everything a bit more complicated (the patch copies the implementation from sys_open()).
also fixed a small typo, that would append a garbage string to the path if the given path was absolute.
