(Also, since Windows doesn't really handle symlinks, it's fine that stat just uses lstat)

It does now: See http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa363866.aspx

Except they fscked it up, as usual for microsoft: it 's got a
mandatory argument specifying what the target should be, file or
directory. And they don't tell what happens when the argument is wrong
or the target does not exists. Typical, too.
