4. Technical Description:
   4.1. Details:
	GNU findutils is an opensource package which provides utilities to 
	find files meeting specified criteria and perform various actions on 
	the files which are found. This package contains 'find', 'xargs', and 
	'locate'.

	GNU find is faster than Solaris find and has more functions, it was a
	cleanroom implementation. And even has xargs funcionality built inside,
	but xargs is also kept separate for convenience.

	There is another project delivering slocate: LSARC 2008/447
	Which is the secure version of locate. So locate won't be delivered 
	with findutils.

	Version: 4.2
