As others said, you cannot do it in a platform-independent way. In .NET world, you could create a custom XmlResolver so that document('dir://c:/foo/') would return the list of files in the 'c:\foo' directory in an arbitrary format you wish. See the following links for more information on custom XmlResolver's:

Also you may resort to using scripts (like the msxsl:script element) or extensions in your XSLT stylesheet.

All these approaches will make your XSLT code unportable to other platforms.
