I was answering a forum post where somebody wanted to find all duplicate
images within a directory.  I had always wanted to write a file dedupe script...
so here's my take:

http://endlessnow.com/ten/Source/dedupe-sh.txt

Feel free to modify, etc.

The result requires the final step... that is, making SURE they truly are
duplicates (likely) and then ... well... what to do with the information.

Enjoy,
Chris
