I'd be cool with a file that's a list of files that we had in the
system in the past, but are safe to delete.  NetBSD has a list of
obsolete files, and it seems to work well there.  We can just have a
set of rules for when to add to this.  List all the files that have
had on a FreeBSD system since 2.0 or 3.0 to start.
