I don't believe whereis can be made to show fink files, according to my
readings of its man page and that of sysctl.

It looks to me like the apropos database includes fink and builtin
files--the builtin are shown when the fink package isn't installed.

As to find:  if you mean that you prefer the builtin find's options to
those from fink's fileutils, then you can always just invoke
"/usr/bin/find".
