>Description:
man find does not describe an option -follow. It only mentions this option
in STANDARDTS section. Quick check confirm that -follow is implemented,
thus references to it in usenet are most probably correct.
$ grep -i -- -follow /usr/src/usr.bin/find/*
/usr/src/usr.bin/find/find.1:.Ic -depth , -follow ,
/usr/src/usr.bin/find/function.c: ftsoptions |= FTS_PHYSICAL; /* disable -follow */
/usr/src/usr.bin/find/function.c: ftsoptions &= ~FTS_LOGICAL; /* disable -follow */
/usr/src/usr.bin/find/function.c: * -follow functions --
/usr/src/usr.bin/find/option.c: { "-follow", c_follow, f_always_true, 0 },

Sorry, don't know what it supposed to do, no patch this time.
