From ls-lisp.el:
;; This file redefines the function `insert-directory' to implement it
;; directly from Emacs lisp, without running ls in a subprocess.  It
;; is useful if you cannot afford to fork Emacs on a real memory UNIX,

Perhaps that's what Eugene wants.

Setting those 2 variables (ls-lisp-dirs-first and ls-lisp-verbosity)
via custom-set-variables doesn't actually cause ls-lisp to be loaded,
so maybe he just needs to explicitly load it.
