One suggestion: a useful improvement would be to have a "master database"
of every file which ports install, which could be used to look up matches
for what might have installed a given "unmatched" file (i.e. the databse
would be compiled from the ports collection PLIST files). Going one step
further, it could contain the revision history of PLISTs so it can make a
guess that "this file is possibly left over from foo version 1.0"
