I need to think before posting. I didn't mention that I have FreeBSD,
Linux, and Solaris boxes, and unfortunately I can't guarantee the same
access to GNU find. I can install xargs if the system version doesn't
recognize the "-0" option, so I usually end up scripting for the lowest
common denominator.
