	There are two (mainly identical) #include s in
current to deal with directory entries:

	<dirent.h> and
	<sys/dir.h>

Both of them require #include <sys/types.h> for compilation.

I was told (in qmail-beta mailing list) that by POSIX
it is not necessary to include <sys/types.h> to use
<dirent.h>.

Could someone POSIXly-impaired (:-) confirm that ?

BTW, in NetBSD-current(?) <dirent.h> contains
#include <sys/types.h> just before #include <sys/dirent.h>

(I see it in file with
/*      $NetBSD: dirent.h,v 1.10 1995/12/05 03:09:19 jtc Exp $ */
and
*       @dirent.h    8.2 (Berkeley) 7/28/94

and in FreeBSD-current there is
*       @dirent.h    8.1 (Berkeley) 6/8/93 )
