Maybe. You'd have to kill the idea of trusting $(PREFIX), because you
don't (or shouldn't, at that point). I think maybe it'd be kinda
incomplete, because it would be possible for a port to invisibly
overwrite an existing file, which your script wouldn't catch. I have
the idea of storing date/times of every file in the system in order to
catch this. It would work, but it kinda offends my sense of style, to
do humongous scans like that, which would take forever on my largish
system.
