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.
