Well, to be honest, current implementation kind of sucks.
I made it a little better (I hope) with my changes to SetRoot and SetPath.
At least it looks better and navigates better now.
(Somebody needs to test this on WinCE!)

Ultimately, if we want some kind of Delphi compatibility, we should
let the widgetset/OS do drawing/populating/interacting with FS, just
like TSelectDirectoryDialog.

This is however far beyond my capabilities.
