Grrr........  This is not a cygwin-developers question.  What does
this have to do with "the internals of the Cygwin DLL and the other
components of the winsup directory"?

Regardless, read the cygwin or cygwin-apps mailing list where this issue
has been discussed to death.

Again.  This mailing list is not intended for suggesters.  It is intended
for doers.  If you have an idea, implement it.  Send a patch for the FAQ
if you think that is appropriate or invent a nifty new inode calculator.

We get enough "it would be nice" in the cygwin mailing list.  We don't need
it here too.
