   To clarify: I'm not sure if my code worked properly here.  It certainly 
hasn't missed any files, but it might have introduced false positives -- I 
was surprised by the number of files it identified as having changed.  I'm 
currently looking at this in more detail to determine if in fact these are 
false positives.

PS.  Can I convince anyone to look at ports/50202?
