Sure, but the code is already compiled in plplotd.so, so there is no need for the header file. This would be necessary if using plplot would need the dirent stuff (e.g. a function returns such a dirent struct), but since it's only needed internally (at least I think so), I think we could move that section into plcore.h. I'll investigate that.
