 This would solve most of the problems in scanning organized collection of
 games when the game has a lot of directories.

 I suppose there are some corner cases like in day of the tentacle you can
 play a version of maniac mansion and it's included in the game files, but
 those are rare. 99% of the games keep the signature file scanned in the
 top dir, and when there are exceptions they're rare.

 A alternative idea is to remember the child dir where you entered at the
 top level, and when you find the game, skip the whole subtree and start
 checking another.

 I think this does not happen already, but I'm unsure.
