I'd be looking at scripting something with find, its -exec option, md5sum, sort, mv and maybe ln if I want to keep the filenames, but I've not looked at fslint.
The more I think about it the more I am thinking that I should go down this route. It will be a one-off process, so if it takes overnight to run, it doesn't really matter, and that way I can control what it does.
However, if a standard tool (like fslint) *can* do it, then I think it's the kind of tool I should learn to use. After all, I could write a script to find the files without using "find", but it's a good tool for that job and I'm glad I have learnt to use it.

Possbly useful in locating the duplicates (indeed using 'find') may be:
for i in `find . -type f -print` ; do ls -lgG --block-size=1 $i | awk -v F=$i '{S=$3};{print S " " $5 " " F}' ; done | sort -n
Why not:
find . -type f -printf "%10s %AY-%Am-%Ad %AH:%AM %p\n" | sort -nLess pipes, less to go wrong, no need for the awk...

That's neat! However, it seems to depend on whatever "%p" comes out as, and I can't find any documentation about it! Where should I look?
