it's easier than remembering where fastrm is, and works on systems
that don't have innd.

It would be nice if find had an option to specify what the delimiter is,
or an option to specify that the delimiter is going to be \0 instead of \n.

I don't think \0 can be in a file name.  Can it?

This sort of manipulation is possible wherever find is used.
