It's just a thought but would it be somehow possible to detect the
filesystem type and allow the efficency gain to be of use where, for
example, a windows partition is mounted from linux.
It seems that there is a getmntent library function and we can get the
name of the filesystem. Presumably this is how find's -fstype option
works. I can't see any way of determining a filesystem's
case-sensitive/case-preserving properties but we can always have a
special array so the user just needs casefs=( vfat )
