Script to check for ports/packages that are incompletely installed

(In reply to Tijl Coosemans from comment #32)
OK; this version of the script does not whine about a file unless it fails both
-e and -L.  I'm not completely convinced that this is ideal, but it may be the
best we can do given the available information.

It may whine if the file exists, but the invoker lacks permission to determine
that (e.g., in the case of ${LOCALBASE}/etc/polkit-1/rules.d/50-default.rules
when the invoker has eUID != 0), so that is also something worth noting (as
Baptiste Daroussin pointed out in an out-of-band conversation).

Invoking this version of the script as root with the '\*' argument, my systems
report "clean" as of this writing.
