I've been meaning to ask... but maybe the above-mentioned -p flag 
obsoletes it now: What's the most efficient way to rebase after running 
setup? We've had the rebase db for a while now, so running rebaseall 
seems like overkill. Only the newly downloaded dlls need attention, and 
the db tells where they can be sent without disturbing the existing dll 
ecosystem. However, my attempts to do something incremental in /usr/bin 
have all failed -- because most dlls there are already rebased and 
several are also in-use -- and I always end up firing up dash in the end.

Thoughts?
Ryan
