I wrote this script to track what files get installed by directories: 
https://svnweb.freebsd.org/base/projects/building-blocks/tools/add-optional-obsolete-files-entries.sh?revision=275238&view=markup . It’s not perfect (doesn’t work for “kitchen sink” directories like etc/ and share/…), but it’s a reasonable starting point for grabbing all of the files.

I’m going to hold off on the rc.d deletions/rewrites for dependent services after I do more targeted review/testing, as it might screw up boot order in unexpected ways with services and programs that get run out of order, but I’m reasonably confident that the contents of the branch work.

I was going to start cherry-picking changes from the branch this weekend.

Thanks!
