Hey, if it will help anyone I have a handy program I've often used
for things like this. It can take a binary blob, look for strings,
and substitute different strings of equal or lesser length (padded
out will nul bytes if it is a shorter string).
Great for building stuff that thinks it should be installed in
/some/testing/place/usr/lib/whatever, testing it, then transforming
the binaries to think they are at /usr/lib/whatever once you are
ready to install for real.
