The best would be to keep a magic string, but stop misusing the Unix
traditional shebang. Yes, I know it is rare to have an exec named BPY
in the working directory, but it does not mean it will never happen.
The correct line exec would be something like "#!/usr/bin/env blender
-P" if sheband has to be used.
