Hi,
I just found that I did forget to remember that "struct dirent" contains d_ino.
This makes it relatively easy to add the SCHILY.dino tag to directories.
It may be that I inroduce this with the next release.....
When the SCHILY.dino tag is present, it is possible to detect renames where
st_ctime of the renamed file does not change.
