Re: statvfs suggestion

This really is no solution.  The name passed to statvfs need not be the
actual mount point.  And what about fstatvfs where we don't have a name?

I added some code which cuts down on the number of stats by comparing
another value we know must match: the filesystem name.

While doing this, though, I found that adding additional tests for the
name comparison isn't any more work so I added this as well.  It's no
solution, but it might help in one situation or another.  The result is
in CVS.
