I've actually used this, and it seems to work: it's now in good enough
shape for other folk to beat on it.

Dale, if you've a moment spare, I'd particularly appreciate any
comments you might have on my use/abuse of FileTree classes.

I want to be able to pull in sources stored on GitHub without worrying
about the file system mapping someone chose to use, whether Gitocello
or Filetree or other.

(And, in particular, I'd like to keep things loose enough that I can
experiment with alternative fileout syntaxes.)

Thanks!
