Why!!  It is overkill to save and restore an existing a.[out|exe].  The
probability is greater that I'll have such a file because of an aborted
configure than I'll have one in the build directory on purpose.  Anyone stupid
enough to have an executable named `a' is asking for problems anyway.  Just
blow away any a.[out|exe] file in the build directory and be done with it.
