I think most people wanted to force all GNU tools. |

So once it's all keyworded BSD and installed outside of our normal $PATH |
16 |
or g prefixed (gfind, gsed, etc) then you can start |
17 |
DEPEND="your-find-of-choice" and use it in the ebuild. |

But we're not there yet so lets use something that all platforms |
20 |
support. Like say find's -delete action which should fit the bill quite |
21 |
nicely. |
