Re: [PATCH 2/2] Windows: Skip fstat/lstat optimization in write_entry()

The cygwin version has the same problem. (In fact, it is even worse,
because we have an optimized version for lstat/stat but not for fstat,
and they return different values for some fields like i_no). But even
if we used the only Cygwin functions, we would still face the problem,
because Windows returns the wrong values for timestamps (and maybe
even size on FAT?). So I think the following patch should be squashed
on top.
I just sent a patch with an "optimized" fstat. I see no problems (at least none
like these) with that patch. Timestamps match. Windows XP, yes. But since
that MSDN article mentions that it is not guaranteed, I guess I just been lucky.
