Class Filesystem.Traversion

Example

object i=Filesystem.Traversion(".");
   foreach(i; string dir; string file) {
   	if(!has_suffix(file, ".c")) continue;
     file = dir+file;
     string ofile = file;
   	ofile[-1]='o';
   	object s=file_stat(ofile);
   	if(s && i->stat()->mtime<s->mtime) continue;
   	// compile file
   }
