Here's what I do right after make install: 'find /usr -type f -cmin
-10 > pkglist'. This will give you all files whose status changed in
the last ten minutes under /usr; this seems to cover both creation and
modification of files. Jii, you must therefore do a sanity check of
the resulting pkglist to make sure everything is right, but 99% of the
time it is.

We should poll about this, and see how it flies there. When in doubt,
always seek the advice of our insightful user base. (And I don't mean
that in even a slightly sarcastic way.)

(And for those of you not in the know: 'jii' is an particle we use in
Hindi to show respect.)
