Yeah, I don't think it's particularly beautiful either. Personally, I'd
still lean towards my solution, mostly because it allows us to iterate
more readily in the future in case we ever need more logic in this
context, and it avoids having to handle the redirect in the build
system.

So I'll take the VERBATIM and line wrapping suggestions, but for now
keep the shell script. I'll adapt though if you think that this is too
much of an abomination.
