Now that the mount points are escaped and contain the Windows volume roots
starting with 3.6, here's my script.  It uses bash/find/gawk.  I'd welcome
any ideas on improving it, I've only just started messing with gawk.  (I'd
started out doing grep/cut then xargs printf "%b\0" to unescape, but with
gawk I can do that all in one program).

It's in
