I guess that would have many more false positives than findcruft, as
it doesn't have the database feature of findcruft.
So no, qfile -o does not seem a better option than findcruft.

I have hacked something together in perl for my own purposes. Will
post it this evening. Don't know if it's that user friendly though.
Also the usual disclaimers like for all other cruft scripts apply here
too, e. g. don't delete a file you are not 100% it is cruft.

I'll have to look into that one.
I started playing around with WPA Supplicant; and got it working with my
wireless NIC; however, it doesn't like my AP configuration.
So I was thinking of changing the configuration to make it work better; but
this might give me what I need.
Thanks!
