Log: * RPythonic helpers to implement os.listdir(): the C-ish functions ros.opendir(), readdir(), closedir().

* support for external types that are externally-managed pointers (used here for the DIR* pointer). This means that closedir() must be called explicitely from RPython!

This is just perfect! As you said, the purpose of this crap is to provide the smallest possible amount of C code, and the ros functions, in the lack of existing functions which model this (good, that they don't exist!), are just modelling the dumbness of what the C code needs to do. This is of course not meant as an interface for anybody, but a simple model that explains the C code in terms of Python. when-I-called-it-ros-I-thought-of-rotten-OS - ly y'rs - chris -- Christian Tismer :^) <mailto:tismer@stackless.com> tismerysoft GmbH : Have a break!
