[Zlib-devel] pigz 2.1.4 available

[Michael Han]

Hi Mark,

Exactly - I am using MS VC compiler which doesn't provide either
dirent.h, or equivalent implementations. This is more like a compiler
issue as there might be other compilers on windows which provide these
set of POSIX directory operations, which might be why gzip is source
portable under compilers other than MSVC
