Our version of stat(1) is essentially an exact duplicate of the code
from NetBSD. I imported this originally, but I have not not had time
to merge changes for a while now. If anyone is interested in taking
this on have a look at:

http://cvsweb.netbsd.org/bsdweb.cgi/src/usr.bin/stat/

If you get stuck with something please ask for help on -hackers first.
If you get a patch against HEAD I will be glad to take a look at it,
and commit it if appropriate.


hth,

Doug
