If you know that your are in the AFS file system, you can distinquish a
directory, regular file, symbolic link and AFS mount point with one stat()
call. The st_mode bits tell you if you have a directory, regular file, or
symbolic link. Real directories have odd inode numbers, therefore directories
with even inode numbers are AFS mount points.
