It's not so much the availability of find on Windows, more the fact that
there is a standard system command with the same name that is not
compatible. So users have to be knowledgeable enough about Windows to
order their PATH so that the findutils version is found first, and
periodically fix the reversions that can occur after system updates or
program installers move the standard windows command directories back to
the beginning of PATH.
