Subject: bftw: Only rebuild the part of the path that changes

Quadratic complexity is still possible for directory structures like

    root -- a -- a -- a -- a ...
         |
         +- b -- b -- b -- b ...

But for most realistic directory structures, bfs should now spend less
time building paths.

(Of course if you print every path, overall complexity is quadratic
anyway.)
