All of them? The imnpact is not likely to be huge in most cases
(possibly different on Windows). On crake, the bin-check stage actually
took less time after the change than before, so I suspect that the
impact will be pretty small.

Still I agree that we should have tests for both cases.

Michael, do you want to look at that? If not, I'll take a look but it
will probably be next week before I get to it.

cheers
