Poor naming.  Better might be virDirName, to match what we are wrapping.

'git grep mdir_name' - we're already using the gnulib interface in two
places.  It does not handle NULL input, but that would imply you just write:

char *
virDirName(const char *file)
{
    if (!file)
        return NULL;
    return mdir_name(file);
}

and let the caller deal with NULL return.  Then again, if the caller is
going to virReportOOMError(), it may be better to just use mdir_name()
directly, and guarantee that the caller doesn't pass in NULL in the
first place.
