# Find files with duplicate names. Generate a file ("dfn") with "mv" commands
# to move the duplicates to a subdirectory ("DUPS") with mangled filename.
# (e.g. multiple files "foo.txt" become foo_1.txt, foo_2.txt and so on).
# NOTE: Even after sourcing dfn (and thus moving the files) there may be
# duplicate names, since there may already have been a "foo_1.txt" in the first place (and
# so now you have 2). So the scriptlet has to be called multiple times (i.e.
# until dfn is empty)
