Could one of the sun-lamp mirrors do it? I believe gatekeeper and another
European site were mirroring -current...

Or a machine would mirror tar_files every Sunday, then extract last-weeks
and -current's, then do a recursive diff between the two. We could then
grep && sed (or perl) for files to be removed, and voila! a happy system.

In fact, it could be even better if doc/CHANGES files had a string
suitable for a pre-req patch line...

Any volunteers?
