At a first glance that looks good.  I'm not aware of anything else
besides of the executable bit.

Btw., in the long run it would be cool if gcc would be able to generate
executables with inline manifests using just a command line option.
First of all, we would get rid of the extra manifest files, and second,
copying such an executable to another dir wouldn't show surprising
results.  And, no, I have no idea how to generate inline manifests :}
