I know the path but the program doesn't.

Starting from a directory, c:\my_root_path\, I am trying to walk down a very
deep directory tree, reading any files under sub-directories, modifying these
files, and writing them again with the same tree-path but under different root
directory: instead of c:\my_root_path\the-directory-walked-throuh I want to write
them to c:\another_root_path\the-same-sub-directory-that-was-walked-through.

The problem is that walk_dir() does not supply information about sub-directories
it is walking through.
