;;; Commentary:

;; With this module you can build up a (hopefully) valid find(1)
;; string ready for the command line. For example:

;; (find-cmd '(prune (name ".svn" ".git" ".CVS"))
;;           '(and (or (name "*.pl" "*.pm" "*.t")
;;                     (mtime "+1"))
;;                 (fstype "nfs" "ufs"))))

;; will become (un-wrapped):

;;     "find '/home/phil/' \\( \\( -name '.svn' -or -name '.git' -or
;;      -name '.CVS' \\) -prune -or -true \\) \\( \\( \\( -name '*.pl'
;;      -or -name '*.pm' -or -name '*.t' \\) -or -mtime '+1' \\) -and \\(
;;      -fstype 'nfs' -or -fstype 'ufs' \\) \\)"
