Gnulib module: opendir

Portability problems fixed by Gnulib:

This function is missing on some platforms:
MSVC 9.

Portability problems not fixed by Gnulib:
@itemize
@item
On platforms where @code{off_t} is a 32-bit type, this function may not
work correctly on huge directories larger than 2 GB.  Also, on platforms
where @code{ino_t} is a 32-bit type, this function may report inode numbers
incorrectly.  The fix is to use the @code{AC_SYS_LARGEFILE} macro.
