[development] An automated way of locating unused modules?

[James Benstead]

Although I agree with Carl that this is an administrative rather than a
technical issue, I think that the module I have in mind would still be
useful for site auditing purposes: for example, when taking over a site that
has been put together by another Drupal shop.

Assuming that such a module would be desirable, the question remains: would
it be technically possible to build such a module?
