No. Just what I said: we don't have filemode (like "at all") - so no
ctime as well. But maybe you're right, and trust_executable_bit is
more flexible. Or maybe both (the #ifdef _and_ trust_executable_bit)
and must be used...

I had that at first (NO_DEPENDABLE_CTIME, than IGNORE_CTIME), than
deemed it excessive.
