On 2005-03-23, Alex Zbyslaw scribbled these
curious markings:
> % find /usr/ports -type f -name pkg-plist -exec egrep -H epstopdf {} \;

Just a bit of nitpickery: I've found that piping the output to xargs
rather than using find's exec produces faster results. Plus, you (most
of the time) don't need to use constructs like {} \;. :)
