AWESOME! Thanks for doing this; it even worked on my Win98 box, and coreutils-5.3.0-6 `mkdir -p' now works flawlessly. There are still a couple of caveats:
First, the directory permissions of // and //server are 111 instead of 555, which would make more sense since you now have a working readdir().
Second, directories on my XP share show as size 4294967295 on my win98 box:
$ ls -l //eblake
dr-xr-xr-x 0 eblake unknown 4294967295 Dec 31 1969 SharedDocs/
drwxr-xr-x 0 eblake unknown 4294967295 Dec 31 1969 eblake_c/
But this is probably a pre-existing limitation of Win98 being unable to stat() directories on remote machines, since it appears even when I access directories through a drive letter as well.
Also, it appears that cygcheck is doing work, but not printing any output.
