is there a list of systems Mono supports? statvfs() is a POSIX-conform
call, it should be present on mostly every UNIX system.

Even if not, i can add a configure check for statvfs() and fall back to
old behaviour of returning int64.MaxValue when statvfs() is not present.

I'll checked MS.NET behaviour and it shows that the values reflect the
current space, not the ones at time out the DriveInfo instantiation.

In my implementation the values are currently cached, i'll change the
bahviour to retrieve the values everytime a property is get.
