I have installed a change to emacs CVS so that ido automatically
avoids doing completion in large directories (see new defcustom
ido-max-directory-size). To see the completions, use C-a or TAB.
It only works on systems (e.g GNU/Linux) where file-attributes returns
a sensible size for directories. So it probably fails on Windoze...
