When find(1) and xargs(1) is Just Too Hard...

(From that firehose of software releases, Freshmeat)
Turn to fgr. "Fgr is a small and simple application that finds files and pipes the result to grep in order to refine the search based on content."
"This release adds Japanese translations. It removes unnecessary build dependencies." When did Emacs start counting as a build dep?
I don't think I need to actually look at the program's info page -- it's fairly likely that this is written by the same person as wrote For each File (or, at the very least, they carry the same overengineering gene).
Finally, since no blog entry would be complete without a bit of Desktop Wars, I leave you with this gem: "This command is used by the Xfce desktop environment".
