Well, actually, doing a find over the filesystem will work since find
deals with symbolic links properly.  What I meant to say was, "Try
doing a diff -r with another usr filesystem.  It's really gross."

I believe that the links were put in as some sort of concession to the
fact that /usr/new/mh is linked to /usr/new/mh.6.5/bin when it should
be linked to /usr/new/mh.6.5.

Instead, why don't we just link /usr/new/mh to /usr/new/mh.6.5?
Blargh.
