How about checksumming?  Remembering a list of checksums for released
versions shouldn't be too much overhead.

You *can't* trust administrators not to play with things.  I've worked
on too many machines that have been upgraded three times by four
administrators and people do the darndest things in the name of
expediency. :-(
