I know that I would GREATLY appreciate it if someone would put some sort of stat_lite into ls. I work with cygwin almost exclusively over a Samba connection, and have been forced to use the ls from the Microsoft Unix toolkit because the speed on ls -l, ls -CF and ls --color is so slow over a network drive.
