Hmm, not perhaps as bad as I was anticipating.  I wonder if 'md5'
could be sped up?

Anyway, and more importantly, did you run into any bogons?  I
know that postgres and pgp don't work quite right yet, and without 
selective nuke capability the 'Delete Stale' option probably isn't 
terribly useful, but I'm curious as to whether it bitches about other
distfiles that it thinks you should have, or ones that you have and
are right...?

I'm not sure what the "right" way to handle different distfiles
for the USA_RESIDENT/!USA_RESIDENT cases is.  Anyone have any ideas?
The pgp files.usa/files.non_usa strikes me as cleanest, but again I'm
probably not seeing all the picture...
