Exactly.  I don't think noexist is needed for subdir-p (it should accept
a non-existing dir for the `dir1' argument, without any need for
a noexist arg and it should reject a non-existing dir2), but I can live
with it, but file-equal-p only makes sense for existing files and should
not have a `noexist' argument.
