Indeed. But since mingw has it but MSVC doesn't, this raises the question: how important is the MSVC porting platform (use Microsoft's compiler and include files [proprietary but downloadable at zero cost from Microsoft's web site], with possibly a wrapper script like 'cccl')? On one hand, there have been attempts to add support for this platform to libtool. On the other hand, this platforms lacks <dirent.h>, opendir, readdir, but we have not had a single request for supporting this in gnulib in 7 years. Bruno
