+ * On Cygwin, we used to use our own lstat(2) emulation that is
246
+ allegedly faster than the platform one in codepaths where some of
247
+ the information it returns did not matter, but it started to bite
248
+ us in a few codepaths where the trick it uses to cheat does show
249

250
+ lstat(2) emulation supplied by Cygwin now.
