find with XPath over file system

Hello,

find with XPath over file system

The standard UNIX utility find now supports XPath:

$ ./find -xpath '/bin/*[@size > /bin/bash/@size]'
/bin/ipv6calc
/bin/rpm

XML can be considered as an external representation of in-memory
tree-like structures, and the XML-related standards -- as methods of
processing such data. I'm working on a reusable XPath implementation,
and the new find is a reference implementation for adding XPath into
the C programs.
