  i'll look at that one and see if it brings things to mind
that i've already messed with it before.  sometimes i go 
looking and do try things, but my recent few months have
been busy with other projects.

  um, no, i don't want large files being shipped off or
linked to some other service.  that's not what my gripe
is about at all.

  i don't do stuff with Windows or NTFS any longer so that
doesn't matter to me, i just want file attributes copied
and restored properly.
