Does it scan your entire filesystem for atimes so as not to miss the .h files over in /usr/include, and if not, how does it know which directories need scanning?

No, it defaults to recursively scanning the current directory, but you can easily override this if you want, eg:

    setup(dirs=['.', '../lib'])

Is there a way to override it to just use strace?

Sure is. This will do it:

    setup(runner='strace_runner')
