A script fo finding orphan files

[Moritz Heiber]

Hey,

I haven't read your script .. just stating the obvious here: Did you
try 'lvu alien' yet?

Otherwise, if your script gathers more thorough information or is in
any way more effective then 'lvu alien' you might want to look at the
code and try to improve it there :-)

Thank you for your suggestion!

Regards,

Moritz
