[Slogger] slogger and duplicate files

[Ken Schutte]

At one point I wrote some simple Perl scripts to find all duplicate 
files, but never went too far with it, because it wasn't clear what I 
wanted to do with duplicates once they're identified.  You could delete 
all but one, then either link to the remaining or change all the 
references in the html.  But, then what if you want to move, delete, or 
rename anything?  It would be quite a mess.  Keeping duplicates wastes 
space, but keeps things nice and self-contained.
