In an effort to help the testing be easier to perform, I will soon be releasing
an experimental coreutils-5.94-2 that uses the d_ino member in ls and also
in /bin/pwd (yes, using readdir()/d_ino in pwd is less efficient than calling
getpwd(), but it is a nice test of readdir). Neither coreutils-5.94-1 nor
findutils-2.27-1 use d_ino at all, so while they do stress readdir, they are
not very comprehensive test points of the combined readdir/d_ino changes.
