Oh, I didn't do it for space reasons, it's just that the thought of
"there's a whole library in my profile when I only what the binary" keeps
annoying me, it's just kind of a nitpick. I wanted my profile to have
as little development-related software as possible (I don't even have
GCC installed) so I could keep this information at the project
level.

Instead of replacing the binary directory like I did, maybe I could
just copy all the necessary files instead?

Thanks, I'll also add these to the output.

Interested in other's opinion too. I'll wait before sending another
version.
