how about this as a start:

    #!/bin/sh

    for i in /bin /sbin /sbin /usr/sbin /usr/X11R6/bin [...etc...] ; do
        for j in $i/* ; do
            strings -a $j | grep -q "/usr/spool" && echo $j uses /usr/spool
        done
    done


btw, i agree with removing the /usr/spool symlink.  programs that use
/usr/spool have to be found and fixed.
