Yes, I got what you meant.  I think that bypassing Cygwin, assuming you
can do something good enough is a remarkably bad idea.

But, anyway, if there was something in Cygwin, it would be
documented.

Otherwise, I doubt that anyone outside of the cygwin developers
understands the stat() code well enough to come up with a patch.
