[X-Unix] Flattening directory hierarchy

[Kuestner, Bjoern]

$ find . -type f -exec cp {} /Users/me/new_folder \;
                       ^^  May want to use CpMac

You may want to check for existing files, too, in case you have two titles
"Love me tender" in your folder hierarchy.

Depending on how you check and deal with duplicates you may also want to
create a copy of your folder first and then use "mv" instead of cp so that
you can easily see what was moved and what has not been flattened.
