The stat implementation on osx 10.5 or later can provide additional fields beyond the tradional unix ones (such as "st_birthtimespec"). Those are by default only available when using 'stat64' instead of the regular stat, but that can be changed using a preprocessor define.

The additional fields are not yet present in the python wrapper (posix.stat) and are apparently useful (according to a mail exchange on the python-nl mailinglist).

It should be possible to add the additional fields in the struct-view of the statresults object without affecting existing code and other platforms. Care should be taken to still enabling building a binary on 10.5 that works on 10.4 (where the stat64 function is not present).

Fixing this requires duplicating a significant amount of code in posixmodule.c and is imho not worth the effort.
