"""Speed up os.walk() significantly by using file attributes that
FindFirst/Next give us instead of doing an extra stat(). Can also do the same
thing with opendir/readdir on Linux.

This is doubly useful when the user (caller of os.walk) is doing *another*
stat() to get say the file sizes.

On my tests (Windows 64-bit) our walk() is about 5x as fast as os.walk() for
large directory trees, and 9x as fast if you're doing the file size thing.
Note that these timings are "once it's in the cache", not first-time timings.
