Actually, using the "src/" prefix (or some prefix, like "./")
is important.  Otherwise, I'm not testing what I've just built.
Hence, including that prefix shows what I've done.  Without it,
the reader would wonder if I'd simply used whatever ls is in my path,
which could easily represent a mistake.
