I'm writing an application that basically does just this, however it
doesn't consist of one function call.  You have to write a filter
function for SFPGetFile to handle the directories and some parameter
block routines to stat the files to see if they're files or folders.

It isn't finished yet so I really don't know if it can be done this
way or not.  I'll let you all know what happens when it is done.
