Patch that adds a new test to find |

Hi,
I have written a small patch (against findutils 4.4.2) that
adds a switch to find (namely, -samecontent) in order to find
duplicates of a file. In other words, the command
find -samecontent FILENAME
is now roughly equivalent to
find -type f -exec cmp -s FILENAME '{}' \; -print
except that there is no need for find to fork a new process
for every file to check. I have implemented the feature by
incorporating code from GNU cmp. Of course, my patch is still
in an experimental state, hence I would greatly appreciate any
suggestions or help.
Thanks in advance,
Roberto Reale
