Recursion and loops are means for doing something repeatedly. Could you 
specify _why_ such change was made i.e. the conversion from one method 
into the other? I bet the code is not being changed for the sake of 
changing it, the reason is simply missing in the commit message.

Please note that refactoring below function into while-loop has a side 
effect: everything had to be indented by additional tab. Generally, 
readability increases if function is shaped 'linearly'.

I wonder if converting this into do-while isn't a better option. Maybe 
I'm missing something but 'done' flag seems to be changed only as an 
outcome of the last if-statement (last step) in this entire procedure. 
Perhaps condition from said if-statement could also be moved into 
'while' portion of do-while loop.

Is the second pair of brackets needed?
