Usually, the 'find ... -exec cmd ...' idiom makes a lot of sense -- it's
faster, one fewer forks (maybe MANY fewer), etc.
However, you sometimes run into troubles with extremely long filelists.
As I did with ncurses (1183 files in the build/ directory) -- and I got
a 'too many files' error from touch resulting from this command in
__prepinstalldirs:
find ${B} -type f -exec touch -t $(date +%Y%m%d%H%M.%S) '{}' +;
The attached patch reverts to using -print0 | xargs -0 instead of -exec.
