And I don't know what a bikeshed is, never heard of it before. I just wanted to start a discussion about a feature that _I_ think would be good. Isn't that what the mailinglist is for? Discussion. And no, I don't want Linux. I like FreeBSD, but why should I have things that I don't use installed? Yes, you can use find(1) as mentioned by someone but it could be simplified. I apologize for everything bad this may have caused. It wasn't my intention. And I apologize for what I wrote in my first post: "This couldn't be too hard to implement. :)". It was ironic. Notice the ":)". But I should think twice before writing something like that next time.
