unix_convert() and amount of stat() calls

[Stefan (metze) Metzmacher]

Hi Jeremy,

what's the reason that we loop over the components
from the root to the leaf, when checking them?

Can't we start with the last component?
At least if it's related to a wildcard search.

Maybe we only need to check the last 2 components,
unless the name is mangled?

The problem I want to solve in this branch:
http://gitweb.samba.org/?p=metze/samba/wip.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/samba-3.4.7-ctdb-10
is this:

FindFirst with 'path\to\some\dir\with\files\*'

triggers the following stat calls

path\to\some\dir\with\files\* => ENOENT (this should be already solved
with my patches)
path\
path\to\
path\to\some\
path\to\some\dir\
path\to\some\dir\with\
path\to\some\dir\with\files\
path\to\some\dir\with\files\* => ENOENT
