 while i agree this functionality is pretty useful i strongly object
 to adding any additional "find /"'s being added to the default install.
 
 i don't believe most systems caches are large enough for this not to
 cycle the inode cache twice.  a single find should be run (if any of
 the users of it want it) and then each user of the output should parse
 for their files.  your "multifind" idea would also work, if you could
 be convinced to code it up ;-)
 
 
 thanks.
