+Just did some minor digging around and checking, this seems to satisfy the compilers etc... I have yet to confirm that it *really* is working as expected. Also it might be better to check for a darwin operating system instead of apple I think, though I don't know of any one really using a pure darwin OS. But for now it works (I think)

+Subject: [PATCH] Define (__APPLE__) in StatFS
+
+At least on OSX 10.6.6 it appears to have the same defintions as
+FreeBSD. The build process doesn't complain and the code is enabled,
+this needs to be tested and checked more.
