Since find is in use, I think the canonical solution is
to use "find -print0"..."xargs -0"

But it's not always convenient to use that mechanism, so
there are other methods that have been used quite a few
times, depending on the tools the user is comfortable
with. In my case, it might involve an inline sed
invocation to add the quoting for the spaces.

Be well.
