find and walk are about the same program. my version of
find started with andrey's. his find page (http://mirtchovski.com/p9/find/)
is dated 31-jul-2004, predating the given walk.c by ~18 months,
though i don't know which was written first.
the reason i started fiddling with find was to see if it couldn't
go a bit faster than du. (it did.)
my cannonical examples of its use are
find | grep whereisthatfile
and
grep whereisthatfunction `{find /sys/src|grep '\.[chlsy]$'}
i don't think it's that important that it absolutely needs to
be in the distribution; it's a convience.
what seems more important to me is a way to unlimit the size
of argv. otherwise we'll need to go down the hideous xargs path.
(apoligizes to hideous functions everywhere for the slur.)
