Bug Description

In recovering over 700G from a 2T HDD, I had to stop the process....only to find out the default nature of the program is to create duplicate files, basically no restart is available unless you want to double the size of your data.

It is also VERY slow compared to ignoring files that exist. This patch accomplishes this and and also includes the bug fix here:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/scrounge-ntfs/+bug/1067814

Patch attached. This patch makes both the Win32 and the Linux command line the same instead of it being different.

It adds a -i flag, and for Linux, adds -d (on Windows -d already exists with same functionality).
