There are also GNU tools available for download separately, e.g. see the
ezwinports project.
I'm wary of using directory-files-recursively - because the performance
can be much different. While right now you see the error and are thus
encouraged to fix it by installing an extra program or two, in the other
case the user would just see poor performance (given a large enough
project) and perhaps some reduced features wrt filtering. And might not
realize that it's not how the feature is supposed to work.
Also note that 'find.exe' is only required when you have a project
that's outside of any Git repositories.

Projectile has some different tradeoffs, e.g. you might have to reset
the file cache manually in the above setup. It also has several indexing
methods to choose from, each with pros and cons.
