Thank you Dave, that looks like the path I've been looking for. I've been
playing with a program by Thomas Schmitt - "stic", a suite of programs to
identify and process duplicate pictures (pre-version 0.3
http://stic.webframe.org/stic-0.3.tar.gz). One of these programs (simv)
runs a process that will:

...show you four categories of images in separate runs of  simv -tcltk :

  unique ........ images with no duplicates found
  interesting ... images which are larger than the duplicates found
  equivalent .... images that are equally sized or slightly smaller
  problem ....... files which are supposed to be images but unreadable

Feeding that output to your script might be the ticket I've been looking
for.

Thanks again for the input.

;; Version 1.2

;;; Commentary:
;; This is an implementation of quick switch for Emacs buffer that is
similar
;; to one that is widely used on PC. The main idea here is that a user
chooses
;; two keys (most often C-tab and S-C-tab) that switch between buffers
;; according to most or least recently order. After the final choice is
made
;; the last selected buffer becomes most recently used one.
