It's fine with me, but:

  1) Please don't use tolower (or any other ctype functions) when you 
     manipulate file names.  Only ASCII characters should be subject to
     case conversions, whereas ctype function are locale-sensitive.  So 
     please downcase with explicit code.

  2) I'm a bit worried by the possible slow-down, due to the call to 
     statfs.  Could you compare the old and the new versions, at least on 
     hard disks, floppies, and CDs?
