ldconfig updates the atime on all .so files, which are executable, and which
in fact are valid ELF binaries.  So I decided only to capture "real"
binaries, and (although I didn't remember until now) apparently header files
and .a files.  I would love to catch .so files as well, but that's no good
because of ldconfig.
