thinking about whether they're needed doesn't seem worth it 
then you could make a new directory, add it to the end of 
the path, and fill it with files whose names are generated 
from that list, which return an error and write their name 
to a log file (or even ask the user if they think it should 
be installed before writing to the log).

Really?
Really?
