That way you could write a builder that operates on the directory using a single action, and no need to have emitters to track all files in it. This would make it easy to copy and sign bundles etc. All these things tend to be difficult using Dir and File nodes.

Nothing to post really. 

I just gave up and did all operations on the directory using env.Execute in a single python function, which was used as an action. This bypasses all dependencies for the files in the directories though.
