Hah, the man page for GNU find is pretty confusing (or rather, senseless):
-ipath pattern
Behaves in the same way as -iwholename. This option is
deprecated, so please do not use it.
-wholename pattern
See -path. This alternative is less portable than -path.
I wonder why they would deprecate "ipath", if "[i]wholename" is less portable.
POSIX seems to define path, so ipath would seem like a more obvious choice:

(I expect ipath to be more portable than iwholename because of this).
