Comparing 2 (or 3) directories: problems with file selector dialog (Carbon port)

[David Reitter]

This is from a user. He selects "Compare directories" by mouse (in  
the ediff menu), which causes a file selection dialog to appear in  
the Carbon port (since the last input was a non-keyboard event).
Unfortunately, it looks like directory selection is not enabled for  
this dialog.

I verified this with a recent version.

Please respond to the OP directly in case of questions.
