In an effort to help the testing be easier to perform, I will soon be releasing 
an experimental coreutils-5.94-2 that uses the d_ino member in ls and also 
in /bin/pwd (yes, using readdir()/d_ino in pwd is less efficient than calling 
getpwd(), but it is a nice test of readdir).  Neither coreutils-5.94-1 nor 
findutils-2.27-1 use d_ino at all, so while they do stress readdir, they are 
not very comprehensive test points of the combined readdir/d_ino changes.
