Great review, thanks you very much. I'll apply all your suggestions. Need to
discuss this one though:

Hmmm, not sure about this, because walking a directory recursively with
directory-files-and-attributes is extremely slow, which is why I resorted to
using the `find' shell command instead.
Alternatively, I could mix-match both approaches: run `find' to list all
directories recursively, then run `directory-files-and-attributes` on this
result.
Does anyone have experience with that kind of performance issues?
The upside is that it would remove the need for custom `find' arguments since
the following is portable:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
find DIR -type d
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
