Are you sure?  It looks like gzip uses those same calls (opendir,  
readdir, closedir) without modification for Windows.  Are there other  
functions you're referring to?

One of the things I do need to do is include the gzip portability  
modifications having to do with path component separators (e.g. / vs.  
\, :, [], ;, etc. for Windows, VMS, others).
