    Thanks for the help.

    Conceptually these look okay, but for real world use I can see one
    problem already. Here's one example that I've been using as a
    testcase. ncftp is installed at /usr/local/bin/ncftp via the package
    ncftp. The problem is that this is reported as follows:

      ncftp.ncftp-RUN: /usr/local/./bin/ncftp

    Which means that any brute force script parsing through this output
    needs to be intelligent enough to know that /usr/local/./bin/ncftp is
    the same file as /usr/local/bin/ncftp. I'd have to think a bit about
    whether there's some simple way to collapse that.
