Yeah. So far (in my python dotfile-manager script) I just took the
nuclear option: `dotfilemanager tidy ~` will find and delete all broken
symlinks in ~, whether they were made by dotfilemanager or not. (But at
least it doesn't recurse into subdirectories.) So far this brute
approach has been all I need, and I can use `dotfilemanager report` to
check what links it's going to delete before hand.
