Subject: Assume POSIX 1003.1-1988 or later for dirent.h.
Date: Wed, 21 Nov 2012 20:16:23 -0800
Here's a patch that I'd like to install to simplify Emacs based
on assuming that the underyling system supports POSIX 1003.1-1988
or later with respect to dirent.h.  This is universal these days
on GNUish hosts.  I'm CC'ing this to Eli, as this affects the
Microsoft port, by updating it a bit to use the POSIXish
"struct dirent" rather than the pre-POSIX "struct direct".
I have tested this on GNU/Linux but not on Microsoft.
