And not just that - it nukes other stuff too. Old-style OCaml
bytecode programs[1] and there was some MinGW binary problem too,
can't find the BZ for that right now.
I think the mistake was to change binaries directly. It should just
store additional hints about binaries in a /var/ directory somewhere.
