It should be much more practical to release a small "patch" that included
a repaired locale-safe libc, plus the static binaries, plus the "lfix"
program with a script to go through and install everything.

The thing that terrified me was the possibility that one would have to 
generate a large "patch" to fix every binary...

I will get my butt in gear and go look to see if lfix works on 2.0,
2.0.5, and 2.1.0.
