Hi Uli,

Thanks for doing that.
Did you consider making glibc's new opendirat function public?
If you do, there will be at least one other user: gnulib's fts.c,
which is at the heart of GNU rm, chmod, chown, chgrp, chcon and du.

Sure, fts.c's internal opendirat function is tiny, and if you add it
to glibc, I'll have to factor it out into an easily-replaceable
module, but it seems useful/deserving enough...
