[Haskell-cafe] Perform a research a la Unix 'find'

[Yves Parès]

I looked at both, and I have encoding issues with both.

My locale is fr_FR.utf8
For instance, with HSH:
I have a 'bar' directory, containing a file 'fooé'

run $ "find bar" :: IO [String]
returns me : ["bar", "bar/foo*\233*"]

and run $ "find bar -name fooé"
returns []

When I provoke an error by running:
run $ "find fooé"
it says :
find: "foo*\351*": No file or directory

So it is not the same encoding!
