Announcing find version 1.0 for Interix.

This version of find is a fresh, clean port that picks up some
additional functionality. I haven't aligned it with the Interix specific
extentions just yet (e.g. '-D'). But that will happen for the next release.
If you have been using the "-i" option you can in the meantime use the "-iname"
primary instead. The next version plans to have '-ipath' so that the '-i'
option just goes away. The primary '-depth' is just gone now (use '-d')
since it behaved sort-of odd/unexpected sometimes. There are several new
primaries which you can read all about on the update manual page.

If you notice anything not working right please let me know.
This is compiled against a new fnmatch() in libport (FYI).
As mentioned before I'll get some of the Interix specific options,
such as '-D' in the next version.

To install do:
    pkg_update -L find


Note: You can still use pkg_add but we are trying to wean users over to using pkg_update for
the multiple platform support in the upcoming future. Thanks.

Find is now at version 1.1.

Turns out most of the functionality was already there. For some reason (unknown to me)
the documentation of it wasn't on the manual page. So version 1.1 has this info on the
manual page now! The other "Interix alignment" options, etc. are now done as well.
Do the '-P' option was confusing because the Interix man page described it wrong. That
made it difficult to figure out the the *&^* was going on for a while. But it's all done
now.

To update/install do:
    pkg_update -L find
