Just wanted to make people here know that I think I fixed the ported
find.exe to work around this problem.  Instead of linking against
msvcr71.dll, I simply disabled command-line globbing for find.exe, and
then added code to manually expand the wildcards in any command-line
arguments that follow the leading options (which is the only place
where unquoted wildcards are supposed to appear).  The result should
work equally well on XP and on Windows 7.

I'd be glad if people who work on Windows 7 could give the fixed
version a try.

Here's the link to the fixed binaries:

(This version also fixes another problem that was reported to me:
"-exec" would not work with file names that have embedded whitespace.)
