Severity: minor

when I type "find --help" i will get amongst other lines follow: 
> -L, --dereference          follow symlinks (default)
that is not correct in this way. That implicates that this is independent of 
any enviroment-variables. But the man-page says:
>This is the default if the environment variable POSIXLY_CORRECT is defined.
for -L and
>This is the default if the environment variable POSIXLY_CORRECT is not 
>defined.
for -h

So either which row has the "(default)"-declaration should also be dependent
on the POSIX_CORRECT-variable or the declaration should be more informative. 
Maybe (default if POSIX_CORRECT is [not] defined) after both rows.

sincerely yours,
Michael Stummvoll
