I'm +.5 on retaining asize, simply becase I believe asize is inadaquately
defined. I'm strongly +1 on retaining csize, which has a very definate and
legitimate purpose for file management.
Two options. One - disable their return on Unix (and don't trip those valid
member bits), or two, define them as identity until someone has an interest
in making them work. We will probably find a few more dribs and drabs along
the way. The 'right way', imho, is to test in libtool for specific (unusual)
fields in the stat/dirent structures.

That sounds rational, or rather ((st_size - 1)/st_blksize) + 1) * st_blksize
Interesting from the post below, though, what is st_ctime vs. st_mtime vs.
st_crtime... it isn't appparent to me why there is a third?

[Folks, if you are commenting on the 'house flavor' of stat, please toss
your dirent in the mix, and visa versa. Nearly every machine I use is some
BSD flavor, so this would be very interesting to me personally.]
