Since these are non-standard functions, the only long term strategy you
should go for is to write a "port" library that does this w/out having
to depend on the target system providing these (which it doesn't have
to).

dirname is rather simple to write, but you need to take care given
the rather wide range of Win32 pathname styles.

Thanks, that seems to have solved the problem of basename but this library
doesn't contain dirname.

Any suggestions ?
