  As I discussed briefly with Jason on Friday (right before he wrote this, 
I understand), I have a script that produces an ungodly amount of data to 
the point of weeding out duplicate files, which also has the nice side 
effect of making it dead simple to produce a ~63mb text file containing 
the file list of every package in Core and Extras (which greps real 
nicely!).  I'm polishing it up now (adding EVR tracking, making updating 
the data easier), in case anyone's interested.
