Seems to be quite new. > POSIX 2003 added this feature, and GNU find only implemented it in 4.2.12 (i.e. cygwin has not had it until 4.2.25-1, since cygwin was previously at 4.2.11-CVS). Because it is relatively new, portable scripts should not rely on its existance yet (wait for other platforms to catch up to POSIX first). Also, be aware that there are security implications when using -exec, for which -execdir is a better option - read the info pages.
