# Here's a little CoffeeScript routine that will recursively
# read the file-system, generating an object that represents
# a directory tree.

# The returned object will contain the following attributes:
#
#  * `file`     - the basename of the file.
#  * `dir`      - the directory containing the file.
#  * `types`    - an array containing zero or more of
#                 "File", "Directory", "SymbolicLink", "BlockDevice",
