Origin script can only accept a file as parameter, this commit enables
it to scan a directory.

Usage example:

Thanks for the update. While this seems reasonable to me from a purely
surface level glance over the actual Python, I have added the
Documentation folks that Dongliang added from the previous thread, who
really own and maintain this file (the original patch is at [1]). Please
include them in future revisions should they be necessary. It would
probably be good for something like this to be applied?

Thanks for the suggestion. I've submitted a patch[1].
