	Using OCaml, you can do it in the same way. However, note that
Unix.stat calls the _stat function provided by MS' C runtime (except for
cygwin), and this implementation is _very_ limited (e.g. don't use
st_ino : it's filled with a dummy value). If you need something more
powerful, you will have to call Win32 APIs (GetFileInformationByHandle,
GetFileSize, GetFileType, GetFileSecurity, ...). Some OCaml wrapper
libraries for Win32 have been written.

	Hope this helps.
