Summary: find.exe maybe incompatibel

Initial Comment:
WINAVR installs another find.exe and places
its own path in front of the system path.

Because winavr's behaviour of find.exe is different from
Windows find.exe, i had trouble logging into
companies network (startup scripts are using
find.exe)

The WinAVR user manual discusses this issue about the paths
and the utility functions.

If the WinAVR paths are placed at the end of the PATH
environment variable, then some installations will
erroneously try to use the make.exe that comes with
Borland's tools.

My suggestion is to either rename find.exe in the WinAVR
installation, or to remove it completely if you won't ever
use it.

There is not a good solution to this problem and this won't
get fixed. Closing bug report.

Applications should not duplicate core windows/DOS program 
names. Applications should not add themselves to the start 
of a path. Both are considered bad manners.
