[TriLUG] Search for Duplicate Filename, Ignore Extension

[Igor Partola]

Trying this out, this solution is cleaner than mine. Also, my use of cut is
broken: it fails on filenames like 'a.b.c', whereas Robert's doesn't.

As for the filenames, just use / as the delimiter since it is an illegal
character for a file base name to contain.
