Granted find is the only way to find all of the links, but
there is a special case for which there is an easier way.
If all of the links are suspected to be in one directory
( like all of the links to /bin/ex ) then I find out the inode 
number with ls -i and do an ls -i on the directory in question
with the output piped to "grep '^#'" where # is the inode number.
You can tell if you got all of the links by the link count.
