Btw, did they work on directories, i.e. could you change the time
stamp of a directory?

Subfunction 07 changes the create date/time, not last write
date/time.  `utime' lets you change only last write (a.k.a. modify)
and access times, but not the file's creation time.  So we shouldn't
use subfunction 07, only 03 and 05.

The second patch looks fine to me.
