FSEXT is not implemented for the full set of primitive functions used
on files and handles.  I think the necessary hooks should be added to
those functions which currently don't have them.  `stat', `lseek' and
`fstat' are a few that come to mind.

I vaguely recall thet the GNU libc distribution (sorry, it's huge) 
includes a list of all the functions that need to support filesystem 
extensions.
