Including Specific files n levels deep

[Andrew Liles]

OK, but I have an arbitrary structure, i.e.

/home/build/apache-1.3.26
/home/build/bzip2-1.0.2
/home/build/dir3
/home/build/dir4
/home/build/dir5

etc.

(The problem context is that I record every I build/install I do with a 
directory and a series of well known shell file names like Build, Install 
with corresponding .out files that record the job.  These directories 
contain the source files and other arbitary intermediary build files.  I 
want to record to another place just the Build/Install shell & output files 
but not all any other stuff.  I have many directories under /home/build/)
