Uwe Lück submitted the
adhocfilelist
package to CTAN.
Summary description: listfiles entries from command line
License type: lppl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
`adhocfilelist.sh' is a shell script to display a list of LaTeX
Provides... contents on screen. Parameters can be either a list
of comma-separated file names or criteria for the Unix `find'
utility, especially to restrict the list to LaTeX source files
modified <digits> days ago, such as today. Command line options
provide interfaces to the find utility and to packages `myfilist',
`longnamefilelist', and `nicefilist' for accessing and aligning
those file informations.
DOCUMENTATION: The manual `adhocfilelist.htm' can be read by a
web browser, and the command line option `-h' provides an
abridged version of it.
REQUIRED: This works on Unix-like systems only, and probably the
GNU version of `find' is required. The LaTeX bundle `fileinfo'
must be installed, and full functionality requires the LaTeX
packages `longnamefilelist' and `nicefilelist'.

This update fixes two bugs:

a warning instead.
