I suspect the path forward here is still to focus on getting an xstat(2) 
interface in place first, and then build readdirplus(2) on top of the same 
building blocks.  There seems to be some general agreement about what this 
should look like (it comes up every year), but we are lacking someone with 
the time to do the patches.

Perhaps what would be useful for this upcoming summit is (at a minimum) a 
proposed xstat(2) (and possibly readdirplus(2)) interface out on the list 
so that any final rock-throwing discussion can happen and some consensus 
can be reached...
