The case that caused me to think about this was that DIR was empty,
while a file DIR.info was not.  In this case, if you choose DIR, you
lose.

I think the best way would be to load all of the DIR files, but in the
reverse order of their time stamps (the newest first).  That way, if
all of the files are valid, you get the latest entries first.
