Ah, now I see what it's meant by that 'opaque', OK.

Can you tell why you need to access the members of DIR?

Well, it's not my project, it's someone else's. It's used like this:

#define DIRHANDLE dirp->dd_handle

  DIR *dirp;

  if ((dirp = opendir(dirname)) == NULL)
    return(-1);

  if (fstat(DIRHANDLE, &stb) < 0)
    return(-1);

Not saying it's a great practice, though. So I'd like to make it compilable
somehow, it works for other Unix flavors, incl. Cygwin.
