It's pretty narsty, but including the text of the license in a data
segment that gets automatically linked into the final program will
satisfy the letter of the license text --- after all, it doesn't say it
has to be *readable*.

My reading of the MIT license is that it requires binary attribution,
too --- it doesn't distinguish between source and binary and therefore
applies to both. But I'd very much like to be wrong.
