Huh... they go to /usr/local by default (easily changeable with `make prefix=...`), which is pretty bare to begin with and with the fact that they don't package hardly anything in man1, the conflict potential goes down even further. Ah well, I guess I just keep making it manually from a cloned repo. > I could probably look at bash-completion if I can get around to > bash, as I would worry about dependencies, fixes, and tweaks.

Since we're at 4.4, I don't think that's a showstopper (BICBW). And thanks again for the findutils update. 4.7 gave us comma-delimited -type/-xtype specs, so a "( -type p -o -type s )" (shown non-quoted for sanity's sake) becomes "-type p,s". :thumbsup:
