It appears what I really uncovered was an omission from the comp.sources.unix
index. I was working from a copy of "List of sources in the archives",
article <1050 at fig.bbn.com>, posted last September at the beginning of
c.s.u volume 16. I figured "Hey, it's the most recent index, if a patch
has been posted, it'll be in here." I'd read the list numerous times expecting
to find a patch for gwyn-dir-lib, but there wasn't one listed.

HOWEVER!

Consulting a different index, ~ftp/comp.sources.unix/index, I find that
dir-lib.pch was published in volume 10.

Oh well...
