Im having a problem building packages which use find expressions not
supported by busybox find.

One example is 'find . -type f ! -perm -200'. Reiser4progs use this a
lot. uClibc and Busybox also other forms. Is there an equivalent using
only the find applet? Im  installing findutils for now.

Is it better to add the '!' operator support or modify the scripts? I
tend towards modifying the scripts.

Is it better to add generic expression support in busybox? So all
commands can use them?
