The new version starts off in the middle of a sentence now.

The make -C thing is more clunky for a newbie (if you want to do multiple searches, then doing one cd is less typing than specifying -C each time). Also, the first sentence about subdirectories is rather broken in the new version. You would need to make it clear that you replace the argument to -C with a subdirectory. I think it's not worth it though to add enough detail to explain it, and that reverting this is probably simpler for a newbie. -- John Baldwin
