That's kind of where I was heading with one of the solutions I
tried to implement, but I am pretty much ignorant of the mtree
files.  Do they really contain a list of all files?  I thought
it was just a directory list.

Also, would this work for people tracking -stable or -current on
a periodic basis?  Ie, are the files up-to-date for every
buildworld, or are they only complete and correct at release
points?

Do the mtree files reflect options the administrator has set when
doing a buildworld, things like NO_KERBEROS or NO_PERL or NO_GAMES,
etc, etc?
