It's not on any of the CD's; you'll need to hit a -current FTP repository,
and you'll need Tcl installed.  What it'll give you is basically a list
of who uses what, wrt. shared libraries.  You can use this information to
decide which libraries/binaries fit your definition of 'stale'. 

It works OK with 2.1* strains as well as -current.
