As Victor suggests, getting the core version working and incorporated first
is a good way to go. Future enhancements (like accepting a file descriptor)
and refactorings (like eliminating the code duplication with listdir) don't
need to (and hence shouldn't) go into the initial patch.

Cheers,
Nick.
