My 2c: I think it's likely that other people will find this kind
of functionality useful so, rather than introduce YA script to do
this, I think modifying rebaseall makes sense.  Then we can just
point people to using rebaseall -w.

It might even make sense to use this when setup.exe runs rebaseall.

Again, just my 2c opinion.
