Hello,

I'm missing the both functions `scandir' and
`alphasort' in cygwin. The are in newlib, but they
will not be compiled and they aren't compilable.

Now I have written a version of both functions, which
is compilable and already work in my cygwin1.dll
(libcygwin.a and libc.a, of course, too).
It only consists of a new file

	newlib/libc/sys/cygwin32/cygscandir.c

and two tiny patches in

	newlib/libc/sys/cygwin32/Makefile.in
and	winsup/cygwin.def

Is there any interest, to integrate this functions
to the cygwin API?

Regards,
Corinna
