   Without newer, the most efficient way to tackle this
   is, probably, to first list all the `*refs' files with directories:

	   find . -name \*refs -print | torAWK-script

Except that it might be worth solving the smaller problem first.
First find only the directorys containing an INDEX, then figure out
what *refs are out of date and what to do with them.

Of course if you assume that in no INDEX exists that all the *refs
are out of date, as make would, it makes no difference.
