a while ago, i hacked together something that does this. i set up a cron job 
to run `ls -Rtr | tail` in my datadir, every five minutes, and write the 
output to a file. the plugin reads the file and injects it in cb_filelist(). 
the output is the "Recent" section, here, near the top:

i haven't yet published it because of the cron job hackery. it is a nice 
feature, though. i'm open to suggestions as to how to clean it up.

sure! the manual and the plugin and flavour registries are great first steps. 
i'm constantly surprised at how much i still learn from the manual, in 
particular.
