Summary:                    [PATCH] find returns 0 when no file is matched
Description: 
Execute:
find -name idontexist
echo $?

You will see that in busybox it returns 0, but in findutils it returns 1.

I've provided a simple patch that solves it easily.
This bug happens in the SVN snapshot, but I haven't tried to apply this
patch to it, but it may apply directly or near-directly.

While i can see why returning a failure-code in this case would make sense,
GNU find does return success too.
