Hi,

The patch referenced in $SUBJECT adds support for storing dos  
attributes as st_flags in the stat struct on systems that support it.

Some filesystems can store dos attributes directly in the inode's  
st_flags and access them through the stat struct.

This patch:
    - Adds a configure check to see if the special flags are available.
    - Implements getting and setting dos attributes in the stat struct  
and inode, respectively.

This will not change the existing functionality of any system that  
doesn't have the special flags available.

Comment/suggestions?

-Tim
