I wrote a simple "find" in bash, which may or may not be sufficient for your
purposes:

#!/bin/bash

find() {
        if [ -d "$1" -a \! -L "$1" ]
        then
                echo $1/
                ls $1 |
                while read E
                do
                        find $1/$E
                done
        else
                echo $1
        fi
}

find $1

I just noticed that it ignores dotfiles, whoops.
