# Some handy informal duration functions in Bourne shell (bash is fine, too).

# duration(): 	given seconds, returns commonsense equivalent duration.

# ago(): 	given seconds from epoch, compares to current time.

# howlongago(): show how long ago a file or subdir was last modified.
#		given a file, shows how long ago that file was updated.
#		given a directory, recursively searches for most
#				   recently changed FILE (not directory)
