Have a time_t that gets initialised when stat() is used, then compare
it with the result of time() at any use, and if the difference is
larger than NNN seconds, do a new stat() first.  getting the output of
time() should be a fairly cheap operation.

I can't really say if this is really needed, since most paths should
be fairly short-lived objects...

Cheers,
Richard
