I have now created a dummy readdir() function, which just returns some
names I've put in an array. This way, I can write a big part of the program
without using the real opendir() and readdir() functions and test it at
home.

Thank you for your explanation why not to use headers from other compilers.
I already thought there were problems like this, but I hoped somebody had a
way to do it.
