sorry it seems i was mistaken, it seems to be a mixed visual and non-visual unit :( But some of the stuff in there is pretty damn usefull to non-lazarus apps.

Filectrl contains basic gui stuff so I don't see a use but Fileutil could be even move to rtl I guess.

FileUtil is only tested and written for lazarus platforms, so I guess some functions are not RTL ready.
The platform independent functions could be moved to the rtl. The unit itself should stay in the LCL. From time to time new functions are added.

Also, there is a lot of overlap with the sysutils unit. Some of it due to the fact that SysUtils was not complete when Lazarus was started...
