I really have no idea what the output file from dumpobj is for. I haven't
dug into the code enough to figure that out. I originally thought it was
for the dumped text, but it does appear to be an object file.
I assume that it must have some purpose, because if it is just a copy of
the original file, you can just use the 'copy' command from a shell much
easier.
I have no idea what purpose it serves, at the moment.
