the first obvious "gotcha" i can see here is including files
dynamically:
<cfloop index="afileName" list="#aListOfFileNames#">
<cfinclude template="#afileName#.cfm">
</cfloop>
other than that, i don't know of any tools, but i did once see a perl
script that searched out unused images... would need extensive hacking,
but should be findable using a quality search engine.
Another approach might be to log every file, let your site run for a
while (possibly spidering it or some other heavy use scenario) and then
compare the list of logged files with the list of all files. I wouldn't
just delete the difference but it could give you a place to start...
