I forgot if this was already raised, but it looks pretty weird:

$ cp /usr/src/xapian/xapian-omega-1.0.14a/.build/.libs/scriptindex /bin/
cp: cannot create regular file `/bin/scriptindex': File exists

$ cp -f /usr/src/xapian/xapian-omega-1.0.14a/.build/.libs/scriptindex /bin/
cp: cannot create regular file `/bin/scriptindex': File exists

$ cp -f /usr/src/xapian/xapian-omega-1.0.14a/.build/.libs/scriptindex.exe /bin/

At least --force should outsmart our .exe magic.
