Hi,

Would it be feasable to provide an extension to the POSIX dirent.h
functionality? I found a small patch in some compatibility layer (in git
source) that adds d_type to the DIR structure, which is currently missing. I
discovered this when testing the POSIX code I was writing to list all files
in a directory recursively. I thought mingw has a small compat layer to
POSIX, but didn't realise it was this shallow.

The link is: http://marc.info/?l=git&m=124386152125913

It would be great to have this included in the readdir functionality of
mingw-w64.
