[PD] "readdir" for XP ?

i used to buy that marketing point of 'scripting'-lang until seeing ruby scripts cause all sorts of segfault on `doze, and not being able to get TK stuff working right with linux only supplying cryptic and useless error messages seeming to point to incomplete platform support..

folderglider is pretty neat but pretty slow on windows compared to 'dir' or GNU find. this works for me:

[openpanel or dropfile]
#X msg 10 12 bash --login -c 'find "`echo \$1 | sed -f /s/sf `"*.[wW][aA][vV]
-maxdepth 1';
[ix-shell]

/s/sf is a file containing s/[^\/]*$// with no linebreak (important)
