It works (well, it compiles at least - I haven't tested it) with a few
minor tweaks. I think the simplest thing would be for me to apply the
tweaks then check it in.

One of the tweaks is that MSVC doesn't understand the 'restrict'
keyword. Either we need to remove the keyword from the declaration and
definition of readdir_r(), i.e. in the header file:

- -int readdir_r (DIR *, struct dirent *restrict, struct dirent **restrict);
+int readdir_r (DIR *, struct dirent *, struct dirent **);

(with corresponding changes in the .c file),

or we need to add

#ifdef HAVE_CONFIG_H
#include <config.h>
#endif

to the top of dirent.h

Which approach would be better?
