I needed this patch in order to have it working on FAT32 disks, but
both on FAT and NTFS the test results seem quite consistent to me: all
is good on NTFS and all-but-test-9 on FAT.
Test 9 checks if a directory mtime gets modified when you write a file
in it and I guess FAT just doesn't work that way.
What did you mean exactly with "vary each time"?

Reading that file, me and Alex have a doubt: is it normal that only 2
out of 3 times defined(__FreeBSD__) is added in the FreeBSD patch set
you added a corresponding defined(__CYGWIN__)?
I don't quite get that part, so I guess that you did either the right
thing or did forget about the last case ;-)
About possibly implementing an NT backend (using
http://tinyurl.com/c27fn probably), well, I guess it is feasible but
with 1300+ lines of code for all but the simplest backend (dnotify)
we're a bit scared about that, and moreover efficiency is not a really
big issue in our case.
"Not in the short time period", that's for sure.
