Turns out that isn't a problem for me. But, I had to slightly alter one
of the commands. This:
find . -name "*.zip" -exec unzip {} \;
works except it puts all the unzip'ed files in . Instead I found I had
to use:
find . -name "*.zip" -execdir unzip {} \;
That way, all the filed remained in the folders they originated in.
