Gnulib module: readdir
Portability problems fixed by Gnulib:
@itemize
@item
This function is missing on some platforms:
MSVC 9.
@item
On platforms where @code{off_t} is a 32-bit type, this function may not
work correctly on huge directories larger than 2 GB. Also, on platforms
where @code{ino_t} is a 32-bit type, this function may report inode numbers
incorrectly. (Cf. @code{AC_SYS_LARGEFILE}.)
