I've checked this in, modified to treat symlinks the same way os.path.walk()
treated them, and with docs and test cases.  It wasn't my intent to cut off
people who want fancier stuff, but available time is finite, and at least
now they can demonstrate their sincerity by supplying code, doc, and test
suite patches <wink>.
