Ok, after some mulling over MSDN and other dubious sources of
information, I think I found a way to overcome the problem of active
enforcing quotas.  There's a new DeviceIoControl call which has been
added since Win2K.  It allows to get the size information of a volume
without getting the information filtered through the quota mechanism.
So, with the patch I just applied to Cygwin, you should always get the
real size of a volume, not the crippled size which is a result of your
quota.
