567664c4a7 Second part of bin/3648: add -flags to search for specific flags.
I added $FreeBSD$ whicle I was here. The patch wasn't usable anymore
due to its age so I adapted it.

127d7563c4 Add -execdir which will execute the exec command in the dir of the file
in question.  This change and the fts changes should be merged into 2.2-stable
as soon as they are vetted in -current.  This should allow cleaning of files
in /tmp to be reneabled.

abacbbbf01 Implement a -delete option to find. The code is extremely paranoid and
goes to a fair degree of trouble to enable something like this to
be safe:  cd /tmp && find . -mtime +7 -delete

It removes both files and directories.  It does not attempt to remove
immutable files (an earlier version I showed to a few people did a chflags
and tried to blow away even immutable files.  Too risky..)

It is thought to be safe because it forces the fts(3) driven descent to
only do "minimal risk" stuff.  specifically, -follow is disabled, it does
checking to see that it chdir'ed to the directory it thought it was
going to, it will *not* pass a pathname with a '/' character in it to
unlink(), so it should be totally immune to symlink tree races.  If it runs
into something "fishy", it bails out rather than blunder ahead.. It's better
to do that if somebody is trying to compromise security rather than risk
giving them an opportunity.  Since the unlink()/rmdir() is being called
from within the current working directory during the tree descent, there
are no fork/exec overheads or races.

As a side effect of this paranoia, you cannot do a
"find /somewhere/dir -delete", as the last argument to rmdir() is
"/somewhere/dir", and the checking won't allow it.  Besides, one would use
rm -rf for that case anyway. :-)

Reviewed by: pst (some time ago, but I've removed the immutable file
deletion code that he complained about since he last saw it)

7cd23434fe Add GNU-style `-print0' primary. This exists so that one can safely
do `find some-nasty-expression -print0 | perl -n0e unlink' and have all
the files actuallly get deleted.  (Using `xargs' and `rm' is not safe.)
