The attached diff patches a failing in the current  
/ansel/scripts/recursive_import.php where if you specify a  
subdirectory, it won't process the directory correctly. This is due to  
slightly faulty logic in the code where it manually traverses the  
tree, rather than searching the tree relatively. Without  
re-engineering the import process, I have created this slightly cludgy  
patch which will only work on *nix based systems.

This looks for a / at the start of the path, and if that doesn't  
exist, do a `pwd` and add that to the beginning of the path. There's  
probably a much more efficient way of doing this, but off-hand I  
couldn't think of it.

There's also included in this diff (which again, only works on *nix  
file systems) which looks for hidden dotfiles and  discards them. This  
is particularly useful if you moving your photos from a Subversion  
repository into ansel. Sadly, this part will currently *always*  
discard dotfiles because I can't work out how to make the  
option-matching code accept -s or --secret as options, like -k or  
--keep currently does.
