The paragraph you snipped out changes things a little: "I always keep back-ups of the installers for every version of the build tools I ever used and keep a note on the source files saying what build tools and versions were used." Remember that the executables are usually kept on system-specific directories, it would be hard to keep them on the same tree with the sources. Besides, to restore a software product is usually not simply a matter of copying some files to a directory.
