Why not just do an `ls -lt' of the directories?  It gets you a sorted list
of everything that's been changed.  Then, all you gotta do is meticulously
plow thru each directory and check out the modified files (I've actually
managed a couple *clean* upgrades this way).  'cept, of course, I *always*
forget to do a `df' before starting.  Oh yeah, and you need a pizza too...
