[p4] Finding changed files in workspace which p4 doesn't know about?

We've found a few scenarios where files can change in a workspace
without p4 knowing about it. For example:
1) Somebody creates a new file and forgets to do "p4 add"
2) Cygwin's brain-dead handling of file permissions lets you edit an
existing file without doing a "p4 open".
3) Somebody deliberately (and stupidly) chmods a file so they can
edit it.
Is there any easy way to find all these? Basicly, I want to answer
the question, "If I did an rm -rf; sync -f", would I get back exactly
what I've got now?"
