You sure Patch 1 and 2 should be together?  It seems weird to me to put support
for one of the functions along with the stubs for the others, should I maybe
just drop patch 1 and do what I need to do in 2, 3, and 4 instead?

It is my understanding that IO_REPARSE_TAG_MOUNT_POINT is for directories and
IO_REPARSE_TAG_SYMLINK is for files.  The application that I'm testing with
only supports IO_REPARSE_TAG_MOUNT_POINT.

Some applications require the FILE_ATTRIBUTE_REPARSE_POINT flag to be set. 
Since stat() does not report symlinks (it reports the attributes of the "real"
file) it is therefore necessary to call lstat() and report that the S_IFLNK
flag is set.  Would you prefer that it only OR the S_IFLNK flag?

> Hope that helps, and thanks for taking that on

Yes, thanks so much for your feedback - I'll see what I can do!
