No problem.  However, missing files can occur in other ways as well.
This patch changes the script so that it doesn't touch missing files.
It gives a little bit of extra security and a warning when it happens.

The point is as you state above to not touch missing files, irrespective
of whether there was a script error, a download problem or a user error.

and researching the problem if I had seen the warning when I did the CVS
update.  The problem would have been immediately obvious.  That's why
I think the patch should be installed.
