Also, just to add this, the filefind module is very high performance, 
especially on Windows.  LuaFileSystem does not collect file information 
from the FindFirstFile/FindNextFile iteration calls.  It asks separately 
for the file stats.  It has been my experience that this is VERY costly 
on Windows.
