If you find these "similar" files and run file_info(filename) on
these, you could check the ATIME, CTIME, MTIME structure elements that
are returned by file_info for the most recent or whatever time you're
looking for. These keywords are not useful for FAT16,32... file
systems apparently. Could be worth looking into.
