It didn't hang, it's just waiting for input ...

 I recently posted a patch to tech-ports about this (but it contained a
bug).  The patch below is my second attempt.

A find is looking for files and *not* soft links.  I can think of two
ways of addressing this:

	1.	Add -h so that it follows links
or	2.	Add -o -type l -name '*.h' so it accepts links to .h files (that
is an el not a one :-)

My patch, using the first method is below.  Notice that the
	-name SRC -prune -o ... (etc)
is to stop the find running into the source tree when things are set up as:
	SRC -> /usr/src
	include/SRC -> ../SRC/include
	include/Makefile -> SRC/Makefile

					enjoy, Andrew
