Russell, those are _NOT_ binaries but scripts. Please don't call them
binaries, that just confuses the people and make them scream. Call them
executeables, if you like.

Because those scripts aren't meant to be called directly by users and
are on intention hidden. If you drop them all in a single directory you
will end up with people adding that to their $PATH, IMHO, which is not
prefered.
