About the lib_file crate.

[jtreagan]

I wrote the functions in this library back when I was first learning Rust. It was a great exercise in learning how to work with files in Rust. They were a really big help with my main (and ongoing) project Question Bank Creator. Still, I have other projects I work on and this crate is useful with those projects as well, so I'm keeping this crate independent of any of my projects. It still needs improvement, but I think it's in good enough shape for an initial publish on crates.io, and that is probably my next step.

As I look at these functions they sometimes feel clumsy. I didn't do much error management and that is a big weakness. Feel free to copy the source code into your project and fix those issues. Or, and this is a better idea, send me a pull request and then do what you can to clean up my code. Even if you only work on one function, it will be a help and will make this crate better. :>) Then, for even more fun, go over to Question Bank Creator and help with some of the issues there.
