d_type contains stats on the current file/directory.

It exists in DJGPP, and all the various UNIX based OSs I've worked with.

Combining with stat is very slow when working with large directories.
Since readdir() wraps to native Win32 functions which do contain d_type
like data, why can't it be implemented?
