seekdir and telldir are not part of POSIX (and obviously not part of the
ANSI C library), and any code using these (presumably expecting a BSD 4.3
environment) is inherently non-portable to POSIX systems.
More often than not, the combination of telldir and seekdir is simply used
as a replacement for rewinddir, which *is* POSIX and is part of cygwin.
Older versions of mc (eg,. 4.1.35) didn't use these, so must be recent
addition, and I would assume quite easy to work around.

Mumit
