FWIW, it looks like some of our highly trained on-staff programmers may
have a plan for resurrecting an all-singing/all-dancing d_ino for every
platform but NT4.

So, expect d_ino in a snapshot soon - back in Cygwin by popular demand.

And, if you're using NT4 - well sorry.  You can blame that programmer or
programmers for not being clever enough to figure out how to make it
work there.
