I would prefer a patch that adds support for (multiple) -T options to
rebaseall (and rebase) to allow one or more lists of extra DLLs to be
specified.  This will cover *all* DLLs and not just the ones you listed
above.  Additionally, it should perform much better on large directory
trees like my home directory! :,)

Sigh... I haven't released a rebase package since FHS compliance became a
requirement.  The above will be rectified when I do so.
