Find queries a lot more information than du, including what du
queries, so that's purely aesthetic.

You'll find "walk" as well as my own "stat" on "sources", if you can
get to it.  I'm not sure if there are copies elsewhere.

My stat is mostly correct, but too ambitious to be bug-free.  I think
the man pages it comes with describe its failings.

Lucio.
