Elad, my proposal does not entail any regression.  The script that would
invoke veriexecgen could understand all of the same flags.  I thought
that much would be understood.  Sorry I was not clear.

The performance that M J mentions is certainly important.  I believe
performance of find | veriexecgen would be alike to veriexecgen itself
on most of my servers, but they have lots of memory dedicated to inode
caching, and not every server does.
