/*
 * Test to see if a directory exists and is empty or not.
 *
 * Returns:
 *      0 if nonexistent
 *      1 if exists and empty
 *      2 if exists and contains _only_ dot files
 *      3 if exists and contains a mount point
 *      4 if exists and not empty
 *      -1 if trouble accessing directory (errno reflects the error)
