It turns out that the <dirent> related functionality provided with
MinGW is hoisted from Cygwin. As such, it has GPL restrictions.
Libtool is not using its own <dirent> replacement functionality if
functions like opendir() are already present. The end result is that
the final product is GPL rather than LGPL or following package's own
license. Ugh.
