Over the years many a file has come and gone in the UUCP map distribution.
The paths that some auto-routers are creating make it clear that more than
a few people are still including invalid old files in their pathalias runs.

I would like to see the map distribution contain either an extra file
containing a list of valid map files, or something like a "checkgroups"
message that sends a note to the sysadmin pointing out missing or invalid
map files.

Simply adding a new file containing a list of valid files would probably be
easiest, though it does depend on map admins actively checking their map
directories against the list.
