Any ideas if we can autoconf around that?
Looks like DT_DIR is defined in Mac OS X, too (cf. [1]).
It's also supported in Cygwin (since 1.7.0, see [2]).
I think it'd be best to go with a simple "#ifdef DT_DIR". If you'd
rather do it the autoconf-way, you could try a similar approach as in
this [3] patch.

Well, it looks like updates to Cygwin and OSX have added support. So I
think it is fine to use this approach.
@Dan: given most platforms support DT_DIR, would you prefer to just
assume DT_DIR support or do something like creating a function _is_dir()
with an "#ifdef DT_DIR" block?
