I suspect it won't - Windows does have a "find" command, but it's more 
like UNIX "grep" than like UNIX "find", i.e. it finds strings in files, 
not files in directories.

Given that the script that generates cvsversion.h is written in the 
Swiss Army Chainsaw of programming languages, I wouldn't be surprised 
if it could just do the directory tree search for "Entries" files 
itself - and I wouldn't even be surprised to find that it could do it 
with code that works both on Windows and on UNIX>
