Thanks for the suggestion. Tried it already and found that it is unfortunately 
not recursive. I tend to make directories with projects under the active 
directory, then put the org file and supporting files in the directory. E.g.

active/proj1/proj1.org
active/prof1/info.pdf 

etc

What's nice about this is that my project notes, todos and support files are 
close to each other. Also, I can simply use the dired listing of the active dir 
as my "active projects list" in GTD parlance :)

I have indeed cooked up a hooky solution that should have hit the list by the 
time you read this :)
