Existence of what? The issue is that if we have a new version of a sound 
file, there's no way to know whether the one currently in place is 
'original' or modified.

Again, how would we decide when to generate this message? I think it's 
much easier (and already done <G>) to just let the user provide their 
own override script to put their files into place.
