| Right. The message is a good indication of Unix find(1) as well. Here
| fix for the previous code. Also added couple of options more like -print.

| 
| 	* progmodes/executable.el (executable-command-find-unix-p): 
| 	Check basic find which does not support -maxdepth.
| 	Return find(1) type: 'gnu, t or nil. 

And a little more error checking added. This patch should be aplied
after the previous on {See Message ID-reference above).

2004-02-03 Tue  Jari Aalto  <jari.aalto <AT> poboxes.com>

        * progmodes/executable.el (executable-command-find-test-data): New.
        (executable-command-find-unix-p): Improved error checking. Moved
        logic to `executable-command-find-test-data'.
