A different take on directorywalking

[Alex Tweedly]

If you think that the recursion is the cause of any perceived slow-down, 
there is an alternative of using a non-recursive version in pure LC.

I posted one such example to the use-list on 26th Oct in the thread

And being pure LC, you can easily add in callbacks etc. to show progress 
updates .....
