I'm sorry if I was too long. I was just trying to clarify the issue by 
my point of view.
I'll be concise.
1) I was trying to stress that for user convenience you may find an 
existing feature implemented in a more concise way.
2) I was trying to stress that in any case we were discussing about a 
minor issue.
3) Your opinion that trv is unnecessary is as respectable as anybody else's
4) My opinion that it is convenient comes from my esperience which can 
be different from yours, or just from my personal tastes which can be 
different from yours.
5) Your implementation gave me the opportunity to test again the "find 
." construct which I was avoiding because of some problems I had in the 
past, and to discover that in my current installation it works fine. 
Therefore I thank you for that.
6) No offense meant and no offense taken. Just a different point of view 
on a minor issue.

7) I'd be glad to work on -execdir, but all the time I can spare from my 
work is devoted to another open source project, in the field of hard 
real time for Linux, where I have more experience and skills.

Cheers, and happy hacking to you too!
