Hi Dieter,

That's a cool idea.

Your code works for me.  I'm using the following sligthly
modified version:

binbfSVhbEQdE.bin
Description: application/emacs-lisp

The only things I changed are (1) the file name of `bongo.el',
and (2) the file name of the directory tree to insert.

This is the output I get:

   wigwam:~$ emacs -Q -batch -l make-bongo-library.el
   Loading /home/daniel/src/bongo/bongo.el (source)...
   Inserting directory tree...
   Inserting directory tree...0%
   Inserting directory tree...12%
   Inserting directory tree...24%
   Inserting directory tree...36%
   Inserting directory tree...48%
   Inserting directory tree...60%
   Inserting directory tree...72%
   Inserting directory tree...84%
   Inserting directory tree...96%
   Inserting directory tree...done
   Wrote /home/daniel/bongo.bongo-library

Are you sure that `bongo-insert-directory-tree' with that
argument ("c:/Cassettes/") works correctly?

What happens if you insert the directory tree manually from
the keyboard (by using `i t' in the library buffer)?
