If the programmers used a delayed \f(CW\*(C`require\*(C'\fR, those files won't show up.
Furthermore, this doesn't show all possible files that get opened,
just those that those up in \f(CW%INC\fR.  Most systems have a way to trace
system calls.  You can use this to find the real answer.  First, get a
baseline with no modules loaded.
