Nevermind.  I just read the MSDN doc for _find* more thoroughly and it
looks like there are two good reasons:

1)  There don't appear to be any Windows equivalent of the POSIX
seekdir(), rewind(), and telldir() functions.

2)  Windows keeps the directory open until _find_close() is called, so,
under Windows file system semantics, the direcotry may not be written to
for the duration.

Sorry to bother you,

Derek
