The problem is that going one direction is easy because we have an
authoritative source for where to start (/usr/src/etc/Makefile). Going
the other direction is fraught with major danger, since we have no way
to know what wacky stuff the user might have done. Note, this is why
I've never even tried adding a "clean my /etc/ directory" feature to mm.
