Yup, I was looking for something similar, a simple way
to get the functionality of the unix "find" command.

I was motivated by the slow search facility under XP. Not
sure if ruby might be faster, but it made me curious how
I would specify a file to be found in a directory tree.

As a newbie I am still not quite familiar with all of the
facilities or libraries, maybe it's obvious :-)
