Thanks to Marius Storm-Olsen we already have a stat replacement that's twice 
as fast as msvcrt's stat. I calls only one API function 
(GetFileAttributesEx, but of course I don't know what's going on under its 
hood), because we need only a small part of struct stat filled in correctly.

Yes, I've seen that.  What I'm saying is that you can combine
`readdir' with `stat' in one API call (FindFirstFile/FindNextFile),
which will both read the directory and return you the attributes you
get from `stat'.  Think about `readdir' that brings you mode bits and
modification time together with the name, as some modern systems do.
