Comment (by snoyberg):

 For the record, recent versions of conduit-extra provide a proper
 streaming solution, e.g.:

 http://hackage.haskell.org/package/conduit-extra-1.1.6.2/docs/src/Data-
 Conduit-Filesystem.html#sourceDirectory

 This is based on non-conduit-specific code available in streaming-commons:

 http://hackage.haskell.org/package/streaming-commons-0.1.9.1/docs/Data-
 Streaming-Filesystem.html
