bug#6555: stat enhancement

[A Burgie]

Attached is the finished DIFF which I believe meets all of the
requirements.  For notes the problem with compilation had to do with
the definition of the function in the find-mount-point.h and
find-mount-point.c files having the 'static' as part of the
definition.  Removing that allowed compilation to continue.
Apparently in C something defined as static cannot be used outside
that C file, even if included.

Let me know if anything else must be done.  I started the licensing
process but have not heard back at all since I did so.
