Free- and NetBSD implement it, all GNU-based Linuxes (and cygwin)
are using GNU find. MacOS X uses large parts of FreeBSD userland,
so it should support that feature, too (someone should check this).
I'll try to unslack and implement it for OpenBSD. If all else fails,
I can maintain a local patch in my LilyPond port for OpenBSD that
still uses xargs.
For other systems (OpenSolaris, older Solarises and SunOS, HPUX,
AIX, IRIX, ...) I'd like to hear from anyone who at least tried to
build LilyPond (and required tools and libraries) on them.
Ciao,
Kili
