Is there a utility that will look at an image of how a hard drive
should be, look at the hard drive, and then move every unwanted file
into a folder called 'etc' or something of the like?  It should look
at the first K or so of the file to make sure it's the actual file in
question, and it definitely shouldn't delete the stuff that shouldn't
be there.

It should also look on all attached devices for copies of the missing
stuff, and install them automatically.

I know there's something called 'wipeout', which kinda does the first
part, but it's not what I want (even if it worked well).  Send email,
my brothers and sisters.
