I don't mind one iota. I do suggest you leverage the -src package for the currently-on-cygwin.com packages. Strip out the autoconf generated file patches, and you'll see what has to be forward ported. Some of the stuff may be eligible (now) for pushing upstream, but the bulk won't be, unless

Yang, Unix file systems don't store the the type of a file system entity in the directory entry used to access that entity, they stored in the so-called inode. Once you have a name, use the stat(2) system call to get its inode information. From there you'll be able to determine what kind of
