Re: libwww contributions

Tried under Solaris SunOS 5.9. I get one error,
relating to the previous discussion of security
surrounding readdir_r:

HTFile.c:702:2: #error "buffer size for readdir_r
cannot be determined"

In this environment, I HAVE_FPATHCONF, but do not
HAVE_DIRFD. NAME_MAX is also not defined. Of course,
it's possible to access the dd_fd member of the DIR
struct directly (bypassing the call to dirfd()), but
it looks as if this member name is not guaranteed - it
could be d_fd, and I guess this is the reason for the
call to dirfd() in the first place!

I don't actually see any references in the rest of the
code to HTFile_dirent_buf_size() - is this function
intended for future use by the library itself, or
purely as part of the external interface? Everything
builds fine if I comment out HTFile_dirent_buf_size.

I wonder if HTFile_dirent_buf_size should just return
-1 in this case, rather than raising the #error, at
least until this function is in active use or can be
repaired in some other way.

Again, apologies for any 'beginner' questions raised
here - I'm getting used to the code structure ...
slowly :)
