Bad idea, for a number of different reasons (including file names
containing spaces or other special characters, and command line length
limits).  The following is slightly better, but will still fail if you
have files with newlines in them:

find $PATH -newermt 2005-02-14 | tar -c -f new.tar -T/dev/stdin
