[PATCH 2/4] dirent->d_type not available on Soalris

[Austin Clements]

Correct me if I'm mistaken, but d_name will only be a basename, so
your calls to stat will fail for files that are not in the current
directory.  I think in all of the situations you had to call stat, we
already construct the absolute path of the file (sometimes a little
later in the code, but it can easily be moved), so this should be easy
to fix.

Rather than sprinkling portability code throughout notmuch-new, it
seems like it would be simpler if this logic were wrapped in a
separate function.  For example, something along the (completely
untested) lines of,

static mode_t
dirent_type (const struct *entry, const char *abspath)
{
    struct stat statbuf;
#ifdef _DIRENT_HAVE_D_TYPE
    static const mode_t modes[] = {
	[DT_BLK]  = S_IFBLK,
	[DT_CHR]  = S_IFCHR,
	[DT_DIR]  = S_IFDIR,
	[DT_FIFO] = S_IFIFO,
	[DT_LNK]  = S_IFLNK,
	[DT_REG]  = S_IFREG,
	[DT_SOCK] = S_IFSOCK
    };
    if (entry->d_type >= 0 && entry->d_type < sizeof(modes)/sizeof(modes[0]) &&
	modes[entry->d_type])
	return modes[entry->d_type];
#endif

    if (stat(abspath, &statbuf) == -1)
	return -1;
    return statbuf.st_mode & S_IFMT;
}

This has the added benefit of correctly handling DT_UNKNOWN, which we
currently don't.

Instead of taking the absolute path of the file, this could take the
absolute path of the containing directory and construct the full path
from that and d_name; that would probably be a nicer interface, but it
would be redundant computation.
