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.
