If we go ahead with the all C approach, I'd be in favour of refactoring a little and putting the new scandir code into a separate C file. There are two ways to do this: a) sticking with a single Python module and just referencing the non-static functions in scandir.c from posixmodule.c, or b) sharing some functions but making scandir.c its own importable module. Option (a) is somewhat simpler as there's not module setup stuff twice, but I don't know if there's a precedent for that way of doing things.

The _io module already does things that way (the (a) option, I mean).
