mlocate had the benefit of both a still active upstream and of not needing
to abuse ksh93's private libast.so the way slocate had.  It's also the choice
Red Hat/Fedora and several other distros made to replace slocate when it died.

I guess I'll have to grab the source and compile my own, since there isn't an mlocate package in oi_151a8.
