For me, it "works". It returns a number of misses, and the output
needs to be sorted. Of course, the output is more than we need, being
a dump of an array I think. Adding a sed command to put new lines in,
and then a sort command, I can get some usable output.

But... I fail to see how ether of the following 2 match, unless this
script doesn't take into account the file extensions. (And they are
the only files with zzz in them).

 "zzz.ogg"=>["./PlaneShift/art/music/zzz.ogg\n"]
 "zzz.wav"=>["./PlaneShift/art/music/zzz.wav\n"]

I know that feeling. But I'm yet to have a project I need to learn it,
so I've not :P
