That's assuming a lot of things. So let me also assume a whole lot :

No catastrophe will happen because the utility script is shipped with
Ardour. Indeed, it is made in such a way that the exact data needed to
perform that task is clearly identified so that during the make process
the relevant information is made available to the generation of the
script that is shipped along. The script reads the data information
that was extracted which reflects any changes that were made.

Yes, I wish users could not modify Perl programs that are given to them.
