[clug] Latest version of VICI

[Mike Carden]

Sorry to (slightly) hijack this thread, but...

Bob, why did you add the pipe to grep to your find? You ran:

find . -type f | grep libQt5 | wc

rather than:

find . -type f -name 'libQt5*' | wc

It *feels* like the grep creates one more process than is needed, but I'm
interested to understand any benefit that I haven't noticed.
