He actually started off with a i think portable find(1)-only
variant; find(1) allows for pretty complex conditions, and
i personally am pretty unsure, and always have to check several
times, especially with multiple conditions (do i need \( .. \)
constructs, for exaxmple).  Same with sed(1).  I for one need
quite a bit of time with these, so i most often go awk instead (or
perl), which just comes naturally to me.
