   It's a (pretty ugly) one-liner if you have something to reverse strings
   in a file.  Put this in (say) /usr/local/bin/rev:

     #!/usr/bin/perl -n
     chomp;
     print +(scalar reverse), "\n";
     exit(0);

   And then:

     you% cd /some/place
     you% find . -print | rev | cut -f1 -d/ | rev | sort | uniq -c | \
          expand | grep -v ' 1 '

   Or you could replace the uniq-expand-grep with some awk weirdness if
   you're into that.
