Any plans to deal with other fts limits,
such as the inability to perform a logical
traversal of a path longer than PATH_MAX or
to reduce memory consumption when dealing
with very large directory trees?

I've been tinkering with an alternative
to fts for use in bsdtar that doesn't
have such limits, but would also be
interested in fixing fts, also.
