Description

TestFileUtil contains some assertions that check java.io.File#canRead. These assertions fail on Windows. The java.io.File methods for checking permissions are known to be buggy in JDK 6. We can replace these calls with our own custom FileUtil#canRead, which is correct on all platforms.
