It turns out that a patch to cygwin to make open(".", O_RDONLY) always
work if the directory is readable fixed find; so that find does the right
thing out-of-the-box (with or without fts) in the upcoming cygwin-1.5.19.
 Unless some other system is found where open(".") violates POSIX
requirements for readable directories, I don't think we need to go to any
great effort in gnulib fts() or in find to work around this cygwin virtual
directory bug.
