It's all a matter of perspective and requirements.  I would like to
caution anyone on renaming the executables.  Some binaries will
operate differently based on the name of the executable file so use
caution when renaming those files.  If you're not familiar with what
the program might do with a different name then you might want to
experiment with it first using copies or links.
