Nah, forget about some user :-) It's just us, developers. Users don't
bother with this stuff, they just email to complain. If we're lucky
they say something like "this file worked in 0.43 but I just upgraded
to 0.69 after 4 years and now it doesn't work".

Probably we'll have our own builds in our home directories and we want
to check that we didn't break something.

Expect version not to be 0.69, or 0.70, but "Willem's build from git
at 2014-05-16".

I think path and timestamp.
