[bitbake-devel] can i get a list of only bbappend'ed recipes that were *used* in a build?

looked around and i don't see an immediately obvious way to do this ...
is there a way to generate a list of *only* those recipes that were
used in the current build that had associated .bbappend files?

"bitbake-layers show-appends" will show all recipes with .bbappend
files, including those that are not included and processed for the
current build/image. here's the rationale, in case i'm missing
something.

been handed an existing vendor layer, with *tons* of bbappend'ed
recipes, some basic, some from meta-openembedded and many from
the vendor's proprietary layer. my go-to strategy is to always try
to build a core-image-minimal to establish a working baseline and,
when that works, it would be nice to know which of the recipes
that contributed to that core-image-minimal build were modified
in any way via a .bbappend file, then work my way out.

does that make sense? is there a way to do this, other than wander
down to tmp/work/... and try to figure out which recipes were
modified from the original? am i overlooking something simple?
