The i18n branch contains a recursive directory iterator. I'd very much like 
feedback on cycles and other issues like usefulness.

The latest version of the proposal to the C++ committee for TR2 shipped this 
afternoon. That is the basis for the i18n work.

I'm hoping to merge the i18n branch into the HEAD tomorrow or the next day. 
I just finished a round of tests on both Windows and the Mac, and all seems 
well with the code. The docs are still rough, but that shouldn't delay the 
merge.

Thanks for the interest,
