Yes I've done that myself several times.....

However I found the following nifty little shell script in my anti-perl
desire to find a usable pre-canned non-perl solution that covered many
of the corner cases that a hand-typed find/xargs command wouldn't.  I
think it's been tested, but I won't warrantee it....  (and I don't know
who "gotoh" is, but I presume that's the author's login ID):
