I had brought that up. It looks like your patch just does a find of all
files in ${PREFIX} before and after. This could be very slow on some of
my systems :).

My idea was to just save the +CONTENTS (pkg_info -L) of the package before
the deinstall. Then on a install, if it was saved, compare them.

Either way would be useful to me. Thanks!
