Perhaps.  You could use the last-modified timestamp on the character
file to decide if the character should be considered for inclusion.
Ideally, though, I would rather have that information stored somewhere
apart from the filesystem.  I can understand not wanting to mess with
file formats, though.  Maybe add that field in somewhere the next time
the file is being changed anyway.  Also, there's the question of
whether the date best belongs in the character file or the highscore
file.  I can see this getting way too messy if it's not done
carefully.  Maybe a perl script that looks at timestamps would be the
best way to keep it clean.

As to excluding admin or dm characters, it would be better to have a
file listing characters for exclusion, as they may still get used
regularly.
