Fair enough. But I would suggest we modify the script (as in the one
I sent) to allow the execution of the app out of _its_ build tree.
There isn't much point in requiring the app to be in the path, no?
Moreover, many Win32 apps don't even have an install target to their
Makefiles, so running out of the build tree is the only option.

Fine. What about the readelf hack? Should I open the file myself,
and check for the ELF signature. As far as I can say, the .res
files have no signature, right?
