>Organization:

>Environment:

	Irrelevant.

>Description:

	<sys/dir.h> has been officially deprecated since 1997.  The
	POSIX interface, <sys/dirent.h>, has been standardized for ten
	years now.  It's time to pull the rug out from under any
	rotting code that still depends on the ancient interface.

>How-To-Repeat:

	N/A

>Fix:

	cd sys/sys
	cvs rm -f dir.h
	cvs ci
	fix all the ports that break
