Notes

This function is a replacement for the FileUtils.DirectoryExists function from the Delphi RTL to avoid dependency on that particular unit. There's nothing wrong with that function except that the unit uses Forms etc. which add significant resources and startup time to your application (if it doesn't use these units already).
