About any bloody app out there in userland relies on open(2), rename(2),
unlink(2) and friends.  Thus, either tamper with syscall stubs in libc
 - see /usr/src/lib/libc/sys/Makefile.inc for details - or rewrite
userland or be content with a locate(1) quality database.  Not
exactly what i might call "just" and "simple".

Regarding myself, _I_ do not feel fit to build a new world right
now.  At the very least, i think i ought to spend some more time
understanding the one that we already have, first.

Back to lurking,
  Ingo
