The /bin/true Command and Copyright (2009)

Well the symlink command was also easier to share with others having the same issue, whereas a one liner that creates an executable script which returns 0 is less ideal.

An empty script returns 0 by default, thus `touch /path/to/missing/library` is a sufficient (and shorter!) one-liner fix to this problem.

I know, but you still have to make it executable, hence it's not as convenient.

And on top of this, an unlink is less error prone than a rm -f.
