On first glance (d) seems to be the right way to go but since we expect
can expect a really large number of files, running say all tests for
version 1.0 would require that _all_ files are accessed, the metadata
retrieved from them etc.

In this situation a mechanism that works on the file level e.g. (a) or
(b) would make it easier to select the files of interest.
