A more general answer, this little script can be used to discover
duplicate files of many types in a system.  I find it usefull when
moving piles of stuff from one machine to another where overlaps and
duplicates are possible. N.B. that d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e is
the md5sum for an empty file.  There is no auto remove because it is
unclear which of the two should be tossed.  A sub shell from inside
of "less" makes cut and paste deletion decisions simple.
