It appears that the `ctime()` function does not provide the correct “creation time” of a file in Windows 10 (using Julia v1.6). I was wondering if anyone has successfully done a ccall to kernel32.dll to get the correct creation time using the GetFileTime() function or other strategy?

Note: mtime() does appear to match the file modification date/time.
