Ok, if the grep stuff is ok as is with the boolean comparison then I'd
say 0002 and 0003 of the attached are ok to go.

I pushed the v9 0001 and 0005 patch after adjusting the AddFile($self,
...) to become $self->AddFile(...)

I've adjusted the attached 0001 patch (previously 0002) to define
LOWER_NODE in ltree.h as mentioned by Tom.

0004 still needs work.

Thanks for all the reviews.
