IMHO, you shouldn't have used findfirst in a portable code in the first 
place.  The Posix way to do that is to use opendir/readdir and (if you 
need more than just a name) stat.  If you need to filter the files, use 
fnmatch to match file names returned by readdir against a wildcard.

Another possibility is to use glob and then work on the list of file 
names it returns.  (On Unix, glob will call opendir, readdir and fnmatch 
internally.)
