Perfect! Thanks to all who replied, all your suggestions were helpful. I'll
probably use Erdmut's script as it's so nice, short and clean and because I
just love Perl. :)

In the folder itself. There is a header that has this info, just
open it in vim or something. I did some checking just now and
couldn't

You need to make sure that something calls utime() to reset the filestamps.
You can't reset the ctime (inode change time), but the atime (inode access
time) and the mtime (inode timestamp) are changable.
Here is a simple example Perl script that works a little like grep:
