Sweet.   Yup, it's so obvious that it hadn't occured to me.   Yum.

And, no, you don't need the filename.  There's a function that opens
and reads a file looking for tags.  It has a statbuf for the file
already.  It can just key of the inode signature which includes dev
and ino.

Hopefully I'll put that out tomorrow or monday.
