   I have my ddfilelister set up as a loadable module.  When doing a new file   
   scan, I've noticed my file lister is executed for each sub-board, and the   
   sub-board code is passed in and the scan mode is passed in via argv.  When   
   doing a new file scan, I've been checking bbs.new_file_time.  It seems I could   
   set bbs.new_file_time to the current time when it's done, but that would mean   
   when ddfilelister is executed for the next file directory, it won't list any   
   new files because bbs.new_file_time would have been set to the current   
   date/time.   
      
   So, I don't know if it should be ddfilelister's responsibility to update   
   bbs.new_file_time or not?
