each Node has an ".attributes" field, which is of type

       class Attrs(object):
         pass

. It can be used to append arbitrary information to the node, e.g.

                     t = d.File(c + class_suffix)
                     t.attributes.java_classdir = classdir

as taken from ll. 107 of the javac.py Tool.

Another option would be to subclass FS.File, overwrite the decider and 
then explicitly create nodes of this new type where needed.

Best regards,

Dirk
