I've redone a bunch of the find code; there's now a "find_packet()" 
routine, internal to "file.c", that contains the search framework but 
doesn't do any matching; it's passed a pointer to a function to do the 
matching, and an opaque pointer to pass to that function.  There are 
several functions in "file.c" called by the find code to do various 
types of searches; they all end up calling "find_packet()".
