Mostly, I didn't want it always starting from the top of the dir
listing, as that would likely result in some files being checked less
frequently than others.
It does remember the files that have already been checked within the
same running session, so it should eventually check all of them before
it loops around -- but I think there may be a couple of logic bugs there
that need ironing out for that statement to be 100% accurate.
