Not quite - the -exec only works on the last option before it...or
something, I'm not quite sure exactly how to describe it technically,
but in this case it would only operate on the files for the last -name
option, or just the "..install.cmd" files. If you use -exec you'd need
to put it after *each* -name, like this...
find dest/include -name .install -exec rm -v '{}' \; -or -name
..install.cmd -exec rm -v '{}' \;
So in this case I found it easier just to pipe it through xargs.
