A slight variation; I prefer to have each run's debug files together
in a single directory.  Thus each day, if there are any debug files
from a recent run, I make a subdirectory "DBG-MMDD".  The files are
moved into the subdirectory.  The script then checks how many "DBG-*"
directories there are and retains only the N most recent.
