dir object broken, at least on mingw

# reading directories from $root_dir
     $root_dir='c:\pub\pdmt\\';  # I've tested it with $root_dir='/pub/pdmt'; also
     echo "Reading entries from : $root_dir\n";
     $dir=&dir($root_dir);
     while ($entry=$dir->read()) {
          if (($entry<>'.') and ($entry<>'..')) {
               array_push($dir_ar,$entry);
               echo "$entry\n";
          }
     }
     $dir->close();
     echo "Whole table : \n";
     print_r($dir_ar);

dir object is completely removed as of 2.9.1 and needs to be rewritten using the real php-object API
