+# This is a quick^Wslow dirty hack to check binaries and libraries for missing
+# dependancies using ldd.  Only those files with missing dependancies (along
+# with the missing library information itself) will be written to stderr.
+# Redirecting stderr to a file is advised, since this can produce a large
+# volume of output on a system with many missing libraries.
