Thank you.

There are unnecessary limitations and a few bugs in the glibc's fts.
Most of those have been fixed in the version used by coreutils.
For more details, see the 24 log entries in the revision history
for coreutils/lib/fts.c.

I've hesitated to add coreutils' fts.c to gnulib partly because
I didn't know of any other package that used it.  Also, in order
to remove some of those limitations, I had to change numerous types
of fts.h's struct members.  That means packages that use this
module-to-be must be sure to include fts_.h, not fts.h.

If no one objects, I'll add the coreutils one.
