Speedbar uses the built in command `directory-files'.
It pushes the output through `speedbar-file-unshown-regexp'
and `speedbar-directory-unshown-regexp'.  If you mess about with these
variables you can get it to display anything you want.

The "show all files" menu entry toggles the display of files which
should not be 'unshown' but do not have a means of being tagged.
