If "portable" refers to things like POSIX then this would mean to
remove i.e. conio, tgi, emd, mou, dio, ser ...

If "portable" refers to cc65-cross-target then this would mean to
remove i.e. POSIX i/o, stdio, dio, emd, ser, mou ...

While this may be true we're already into "file management" with
rename(), remove() - and on hierarchical filesystems with mkdir() and
rmdir().

What I however consider the most important point: If we support
opendir() then this means we're going for scenarios beyond users
typing in filenames or hardcoded filenames. In those scenarios it' s
the next logical step to discover not only files in the "current
location" but in "other locations" as well.

Oliver
