OK guys, I give up. Apparently both sides don't like what I do. Ben,
please finally get it into your head that the issues surrounding path
searching are *hard*, and there are very few changes that you can make
which won't screw some of the users. At least give someone else the
benefit of the expertise here, come by the hard way.
As for the *if*: I've gotten bashed plenty for the stat count path
searching incurs. This would bump it up forther.
Jeez ...
