As far as I can tell, most of the logic boils down to insert_fprintf() in findutils' parser.c. Concerning the feasibility of sharing parts, I don't know offhand (it doesn't look easy though). Albeit I searched through the coreutils mailing list archive and found some according threads regarding extending ls, I'm not exactly sure what format functionality is needed (unless we want a working find -printf resembling behavior).
