Patch in support for special file and block device types

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Detailed description of support request:

Please patch in the changes I have made for handling special files and device 
types by implementing the s3fs_mknod function. The change allows for S_IFCHR, 
S_IFIFO, S_IFSOCK, S_IFBLK and S_IFLNK types to be created on an s3fs mount. I 
have attached a patch file with the changes to implement this functionality. 
This patch file was generated from the 1.71 code release and should be easy to 
apply.
