It's a shame that the target just touches the files to create
empty ones; I'm not sure if there are suitable sample files around
somewhere already.  But I guess having an empty odbc.ini-dist file
is better than an empty odbc.ini file.

Basically just mirroring the @exec lines from the plist, right?
