Ok,

I'll post my own then :-)   Script to create a lost+found directory follows.
I call it "mklost+found"

----------------------- cut here --------------------------------------------


# makes a lost and found directory
echo "\n\n This script makes a lost and found directory on a new
file system.  You should be in the root directory of the new file
system when you execute this command.

Hit <return> to start ...\c"

read Barf

mkdir lost+found
chmod +rwx lost+found
cd lost+found

for i in 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25
do
	for j in 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25
	do
		echo "" >f.$i.$j
	done
done
rm -f f*

echo "Done ... "
