 We could revert to the original before/after file list approach, and just use
something like "stat -c '%N %Y %f'" instead of md5sum.

 Though I certainly like Trent's idea of installing each package in a separate
directory, too. With PPS we're more or less there anyway. We'd just need to step
up the adoption rate of PPS then :-)
