Pretty-print a directory tree

[trent shipley]

Yes.  I discovered writing this kind of file seems to be a common,
programming language independent, CS undergrad exercise.

Someone put their Python homework on GitHub, so I am going to appropriate
their code and try to improve it.  I'm not above looking at the 'pass' code
and appropriating from that (with citations) instead of trying to reinvent
wheels.
