A simple way to see what a program installs is to apply a label to
everything in your extensions and control panels folders before you
install. After the install, anything with no label is what was installed.
As to checking for newer extensions being overwritten, I don't really have
an answer, except it's usually the same things. I suppose you could make a
printout of what is in your folders before hand, and see if any of them has
suddenly become non-labeled, ie, overwritten. It's the easiest way I know
to see what a program installs.
