Re: dot, dot-dot and apr_dir_read

As the guy who wrote that documentation and implemented the initial cut of that
code, I can answer to a degree.

Yes, it is intended. This is often a problem with writing portable code, so I
was trying to make that task easier.

It probably doesn't. I never encountered a FS that didn't consistantly return .
and .. first, so I didn't code around the problem. It wouldn't be too hard to
resolve this in the APR code however.
