A different take on directorywalking

[Kevin Miller]

Indeed he has. However I suspect that it may be this patch in fact goes
into DP10 as it is still undergoing final refinements. We are keen to keep
the momentum up with 8 and would like to get a DP9 out imminently to
resolve some other issues that have come up. We will be aiming for a DP10
only days behind though, so not long to wait (touchwood!).

Kind regards,

Kevin
