Cygwin may be adding the feature of st_birthtime in the upcoming 1.7.0
(sparked by this thread), since NTFS is another filesystem that tracks
creation time alongside change time.  Findutils will be an interesting
test case to see that cygwin gets it implemented nicely.  Are there any
standards documents that mention st_birthtime, or is it just an
unstandardized extension at the moment?
