GNU find does not even behave correctly on UFS in case you have hard linked
directories.
GNU find always fails on PC-fs and on HSFS in case that dou do not use a
non-standard "option" (really a "primary") -noleaf.
sfind optimizes this based on fs names.
I did propose a pathconf() call to retrieve directory "hardlink" semantics
some time ago on the POSIX mailing list as this is the only way to do it
right.
