ENH: support Foam::mv overwrite of existing files on windows (#1238 ) · 90f039fa

Mark OLESEN authored 6 years ago

- the behaviour of std::rename with overwriting an existing file is
  implementation dependent:
    - POSIX: it overwrites.
    - Windows: it does not overwrite.

- for Windows need to use the ::MoveFileEx() routine for overwriting.

  More investigation is needed for proper handling of very long names.
