This is something I see throughout the code that I haven't quite
followed (i.e., using the _t typedefs vs. not). Is the general consensus
to move away from typedefs when possible?

Ok. I was thinking that we could support the ability to scan by uid/gid
regardless of whether quota is enabled, but perhaps there's no purpose
to that if a quota isn't enabled.
