Actually, it is still ClientRegistry.blob, the file is just located
under ~/.steam/ rather than in the game directory. InstallRecord.blob
stores the current version of the content you have so when it talks to
Steam it can quickly get the list of changes (without it you have to
iterate every file and check that it is up to date).
