It doesn't entirely simplify libc, as it enlarges struct stat and (more 
importantly) makes struct stat tricky. This is a judgment call, but I would say 
we're better off in the long run with a simpler struct stat that ordinary 
programmers will understand easily, even if this complicates nftw implementation 
during the transition.
