I do know I have a bunch of orphaned files and/or database entries.
However, I noticed that this script wasn't in my 0.24-fixes contrib
directory, and I went off to find out why.

Turns out, according to the wiki and the thread referenced there, that the
script is deprecated and not recommended anymore.

Just thought I'd point it out lest anyone go blindly down that path.
