I'm loathe to create more dependencies: a working bourne shell and a
working find program, but I also don't want to get tied in knots
with the boolean operators of find.  I find that sort of thing most
unreadable, but this violates DRY to a fair extent:

Is There A Better Way To Do It?  We can't use ruby to distclean ruby, of
course...
