Unless you have complex requirements, i am thinking the best way is just
to use c and C++ libraries.

For basic file name changes (like extension) 10 lignes of code is enough.
Time formatting is also easy made with usual libs.

Building boost is a nightmare on Windows.
I had to remove this dependency and add these 10 lines of code to
compile the IDF code.

The less Boost is used, the better.
