Just grabbed a copy of this script. Much better than doing it by hand, but there are 
some problems with upper-case letters in filenames. For example:
Missing Install Files:
 [curr] release/squid/squid-2.4-stable20010508.tar.gz
 [curr] release/xfree86/xfree86-base/xfree86-base-4.2.0-1.tar.bz2
 (... etc ...)
Not Removing files not in setup.ini
 release/XFree86/XFree86-base/XFree86-base-4.2.0-1.tar.bz2
 release/squid/squid-2.4-STABLE20010508.tar.gz
 (... etc ...)
