actually, i would have thought that xargs (in its most simple incarnation)
would be more useful and reliable under plan 9 than unix, as at least
you're guaranteed that filenames don't have spaces in them.
at least it means when doing a large recursive grep, there's a reasonable
probability that it'll find something before traversing the entire
directory tree...
