Bah, should've checked facets first, but that really is the problem with
facets... it's a big kitchen sink and you never know what you're going to
find in there or not

That said, this was yanked out of a larger system and incorporates some
hacks for living along ActiveSupport and the boogiemen which lurk inside
dependencies.rb.

That seems as simple as checking if the given path is a directory.  Perhaps
it'd be a nice feature for 1.0.1
