I posted one approach to this today... touch a file right before you
start installworld, then consider anything not newer than that file a
candidate for disposal. There is currently something weird going on in
/usr/lib though... a lot of the files don't have newer dates, I haven't
tracked down why yet.

Also, I highly recommend NOT deleting the files, but moving them
somewhere. This makes it much easier to recover if you delete something
you shouldn't have.
