Hmm. Yes, the one in the build directory (for the wrapper, or the "real"
exe if building without dependencies on uninstalled DLLs) probably
should be.  The one in .libs/ not so much, because the catchall rm -rf
.libs will take care of it.

Well, you're not guaranteed to have tee on MSYS.  The current code is
two forks: each function call forks a 'cat' process.  Either of your
proposals is also two forks: one 'cat', and one 'tee' or 'cp'.  So I
don't think it makes much difference.

I seem to recall that it does, but I'm not sure.
