1. Install it with prefix in you directory DIR,
  than 
  for i in DIR/* DIR/*/* DIR/*/*/*/ .....
  do
    echo $$i
  done  > PLIST.begin
 
  is what, that you need.

  than you can by sample perl script exclude
  directories, ... and so on.

2. Another way:
   (tar -cf - DIR/* | tar -tf - ) > PLIST.begin
