My opinion is that the "extensive" change would be to rip out the recent
change altogether. What's the point of testing whether `find' is
a unix-like find or not since if it isn't we have no good alternative
anyway. The only point I could see is to give a more meaningful error
message for those few W32 folks who end up running some unrelated find.exe.
But even then, I highly doubt it'll make any significant difference or is
worth the trouble: the problem seem to be fairly infrequent and for those
people who do end up posting on gnu.emacs.help, I expect they would post as
well if the message said "you need to install a unix-like `find'" because
they have no idea what the message is telling them and where to find
a unix-like `find'.
