Thanks. This is excellent work. I had to make one small change to this
part of your patch:

The 'two subdirs' test was failing because, on my system anyway,
getdirs was returning the two subdirectories in opposite order to the
order expected in the test case. The Tcl man page for 'glob' confirms
that the glob order is not guaranteed.

Cheers,
