	The problem, though, is that this seems to work against the UNIX 
philosophy.  Why should tla re-implement find?  IMO, it'd be much 
better off re-implementing diff, patch, and tar first to reduce the 
number of external dependencies (as I haven't used tla on a system yet 
that didn't require me to install gnu or at least newer versions of 
these tools).  Perhaps it'd make more sense to make a find that gets 
along with tla better?
