"""This script starts in the current directory and recursively examines each of its
subdirectories. It looks for directories that have JPEG files but no hugin
project files. When it finds such a directory, it calls
create_panorama_script.py to create a script that will automatically create a
hugin project file.

This is a utility script that is intended to work on my own hard drive, where I
have a single directory containing multiple other directories, each of which
subdirectories contains a group of photos that need to be stitched into a
single panorama. It's kind of a hack, but it may be useful to others. (It may
need substantial adaptation IN ORDER to be useful to others, though.)
