[p4] Find old dead code?

[Qazwart]

Wonder if the p4 annotate command can do something for you in this  
regard. It shows you the changeset when the line was last edited in  
Perforce. You can search the changesets to find the earliest one you  
want to keep, and grep out if the changeset is earlier than that one.
