An easier way (IMO), is to have the Makefile mv or rm the bin/circle
file (before linking), then link it. This will work with most unixes
where you get "Text file busy" trying to overwrite a running executable.
I know at least it works for Linux, as it doesn't unlink bin/circle
file until after it's not used anymore (If you didn't understand this
last line, ignore it :)
