OK.  Actually, I had less to do than I thought and I was able to rip off
my own code for sophie <g>.  I might be done...  Testing it out, I'll
probably send a patch to David in a little bit.

No.  ...but I found a case where clamd wouldn't be able to do this:

- open new socket
SCAN $cwd/Work
- it closes the socket

I posted about it to the clam users list:

http://archive.elektrapro.com/clamav.elektrapro.com/users/2002/10/msg00005.html

...but no responses so far.  So I wrote it up to do this:

- open new socket
SCAN $cwd/Work/file1.ext
- it closes the socket
- open new socket
SCAN $cwd/Work/file2.ext
- it closes the socket
- open new socket
SCAN $cwd/Work/file3.ext
- it closes the socket

...which sucks, but it'll still be super fast.  If it's fixed (or I find
out it was me), I'll send in another patch.
