Maybe you should search the forums for cruft. I remember Ed (?) Catmur once
posted a script or something there.
I use a script named findcruft regularly (I think it is an improved
version of Ed Catmur's product; I'll check when I get home). It works
by finding all files on the filesystem
You could start with
qfile -o $(find /etc -type f)
I guess that would have many more false positives than findcruft, as
it doesn't have the database feature of findcruft.
So no, qfile -o does not seem a better option than findcruft.

I have hacked something together in perl for my own purposes. Will
post it this evening. Don't know if it's that user friendly though.
Also the usual disclaimers like for all other cruft scripts apply here
too, e. g. don't delete a file you are not 100% it is cruft.
