find files results title with pattern and content



In the chat with wwp about the find files dialog, I had forgotten about the panelize button. Thanks Chris 
Glur for reminding me. Yes, it does exactly what he was asking, as far as I can tell.

Anyway, in that post I had mentioned that I'd like the find files results window to show the pattern and 
content in the title, to explain what it's doing, where I have 2 mc's in side by side terminals grepping in 
the same directory for different things.

Well, here's a quick & dirty hack that does what I mentioned. It's only a few lines in filemanager/find.c and 
it seems to work for me. I thought I'd post it here to show what I'm talking about, if anyone is interested. 

I used diff -u. Is there a better diff command? I haven't posted one in quite some time.

Something I'm curious about is this: when I pass NULL to printf "%s", I get "(null)" printed. Is this 
standard across platforms, or is it good practice to check for this condition and avoid it? Malformed 
printf's are a notorious source of segfaults.

As a related sidenote, while I'm in here poking around, about that FIXME: 

global char *find_pattern is assigned here and used only in run_process(void). Why can't char *pattern be 
passed to run_process(const char *pattern)? Get rid of another global.
