Hmm.  I can't think of anything off of the top of my head that does
that, but here is something that you could do.  Run what ever
application under strace and then go back through the voluminous output
of that and look for open and write calls.  There would be false
positives, but a trained eye should be able to weed those out.  A
wrapper application like strace would be interesting to write.  Useful
too.
