Considering there isn't an installation script ...
Instead, there's a moderately involved C program that's supposed to do the
installation.

Yup. There is. Including the line in inittab that causes djb's
process supervisor to keep restarting. At least the ones in
/usr/local/bin are all symbolic links elsewhere, so they're easy to find.
I do hope that's all.
Is there an easy way to scan a system to find all files that aren't part
of any package? Except of course for files like the ones under /home or
/usr/local or such?
