For somebody whose name I haven't seen here before, I have to say, I like the way you write D code.

I'd like to take over, but there are younger and more talented -- and more Linux savvy guys here, to do it better.

----

FOR EVERYBODY ELSE:

I bet there are thousands of guys reading this NG, who haven't made any noise or who haven't submitted code. I bet quite a few of you don't want to do it "because the code should be polished, look like written by some  long time D expert", well commented, or otherwise "better than your own normal code".

I want you guys to know, that the D community is glad to receive even half-written stuff, anytime you feel (like S did) that you don't have the time to "finish" it.

(Be it a single class, a single method, half a module, or just a skeleton of a concept. Or just maybe a part of any of those.)

----

Besides, submitting code, or even fragments of code, is the way to get a permanent plaque in the Hall of Contributors. Compare that to those who have contributed to the syntax, the morale, the direction of development -- none of them will ever get mentioned anywhere, even after half a decade.

Nice. I can use this stuff. I'll post it to the Wiki ( http://www.prowiki.org/wiki4d/wiki.cgi?PublicCode/DirWalker )to allow access and updates.

I made a typo.  I fixed it on your wiki.  The code needs linux.errno.d which I also posted.  Hopefully that makes it into phobos.
