The current version of findchanged supports symlinks already, so closing this 
issue.

thanks && regards,

Frankly, it somewhat got out of hand. (o; But I've tried to make the
script a little more readable.
Just tell me what you think.

Changes incorporated:
---------------------
  * Added function `usage()'.
  * More meaningful names for positional parameters throughout the script.
  * Output of files uses less(1)' indicators instead of a simple echo(1).
  * Long names of options used where possible.

Does `-L' i.e. 'follow symbolic links' for find(1) suffice?

And what is meant by 'at least'? What else do you have in mind?

In the script findchanged we support files only, support for at least symlinks
would be nice.
