  Is there any particular reason to pass '/bin' instead of the (default)
  '/sbin' here?

  called 'VTest', in `scripts/run-regtests.sh' for example.

                              ^ haproxy header files are licensed under
                              lgpl2.1+, at least according to `doc/coding-style.txt'

Thanks for working on this!
