http://www.open-std.org/JTC1/SC22/wg14/www/docs/n1570.pdf is a more
recent draft.

<dirent.h> is already standardized by POSIX. Standardizing
directory access for non-POSIX systems is a harder problem than
you might think. A library that's general enough to cover all
relevant systems would probably be substantially less powerful than
the existing system-specific library (dirent for POSIX, whatever
Windows has, etc.).
Threads are also supported by POSIX, but apparently standardizing
threads in a way that could reasonably be supported by all hosted
implementations (or most of them; as I recall it's an optional
feature) apparently wasn't as difficult.
