Or, my preferred solution: Fix the shebangs :) It's usually not hard
to put together a script that zips through your hard drive and fixed
them... or else you just fix 'em when you notice 'em, which means your
shebangs become a kind of historic marker. I used to have drive
letters all over my code, and I could track a program's history
through them: this used to be on D:, then it moved to E:, etc.
Discovering something that still said "D:\eddie" was like digging up a
Second World War bullet casing.
