[openbox] Recursive filesystem browsing pipe menu, revisited.

[mfitzgib]

I already implemented a (fairly crappy) scheme to split up large directorys 
into multiple menus. You can find it on my site at www.sildan.tk (I also 
posted here, I think...). I plan to change the temp file naming from a random 
value to a timestamp so that I can better clean up after myself (what on earth 
was I thinking when I wrote this?). Anyway, I'll add your suggestions when I 
can (busy week), and any more would be helpful.
