#22 util.py should probably ignore unreadable directories

[Anonymous]

On my Debian system, choosing /tmp as a target for
findfiles results in this exception trace:

I suppose that util.py should probably just ignore
errors like this, but I haven't looked into it very
closely.

I don't know how the new os.walk() generator-based repacement for
os.path.walk() will impact this, but I was planning on using it as a
replacement for util.dirwalk. I'll look at this before releasing 0.8
