I know many of you have discussed concern about messing up
installing shared libraries and then having nothing work. My solutios is
to make copies of my essential utilities, rm, sh, ln, ls, and so on with
the first letter capitalized. Then I edit those files so that instead of
looking for "libc..." they look for "Libc.." and I make a copy of the
library and symlinks with the first letter capitalized.

        Now if I mess up my libraries or symlinks I can use the
capitalized versions of those utilities to repair the damage. Easy. Works.
