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.


2004-01-28  Jari Aalto  <jaalto@w2kpicasso>

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