What's worked well for me in the past in such situations is to just derive a
Path class from std::string, and give it members such as GetFilename(),
GetFullPath(), etc.  I could knock out something analagous pretty quick I should
think, maybe consolidating our two string classes (cistring and String) in the
process....
