"crtime" looks rather too similar to "ctime" for my
liking. People who think that the "c" in "ctime"
means "creation" are still likely to confuse them.

Why not give it a more explicit name, such
as "st_creationtime"?

My this bike-shed looks a bit greenish.  How about:
         creation_time
or, at least,
         st_creation_time

Speaking as somebody who thought the c in ctime meant creation, I'm +1 on this proposal with Greg's modification.
