Use the find command, which is installed on most Linux and has been ported to 
win: http://unxutils.sourceforge.net - dl link: 
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=9328

to get you started, you are going to want something like this:

find /start/dir -name "*.png" -exec mogrify -stuff {} \;

or, CD into the start dir, and use echo to see what commands are goint to get 
executed. once it looks like it is what you want, then you can actually execute.

carl at asus17:~$ find ./ -name "*.png" -exec echo mogrify -stuff {} \;
mogrify -stuff ./wifi/carlfloorplan.png
mogrify -stuff ./wifi/floorplan.png
mogrify -stuff ./wifi/lewifi/crownmeetrooms.png
