I was advocating something which would just set specific attribute
bits.  If we want pinpoint control maybe we could do this in the
mount table:

	mount --stat-lite \\some\remote\share /foo

Hey!  I like this idea.  (pats himself on the back)

Since cygwin allows you to mount individual files you could even do
a:

	mount --stat-lite c:\cygwin\bin\ls.exe /bin/ls.exe

...and have the cygwin startup determine if ls should use stat-lite or
not.
