Comment:

 See
 [https://gitweb.torproject.org/user/rransom/torbrowser.git/shortlog/refs/heads/bug4984
 bug4984] ( `https://git.torproject.org/user/rransom/torbrowser.git
 bug4984` ) for a patch to add explanatory comments to `remove-shared-lib-
 symlinks`'s debug-dump files, so there will be absolutely no excuse for
 asking whether two small text files might be ‘rogue’ in a directory full
 of multi-megabyte binaries.

 Removing these files is not an option -- I found #3801 (a sign that some
 TBBs did not contain what their documentation claimed they did) and #3906
 (a major security problem) by looking at shared library names in the
 distributed TBBs.  It's bad enough that we have to rename the shared
 libraries at all.
