Those files get dropped or deleted when you run sa-update. So now you have to make sure you never run sa-update or your changes might get nuked.

Seriously, 3.1.7 is vastly to old to be very effective, it was released over 2 years ago. It also has security holes in it (CVE-2007-0451 <http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2007-0451> and CVE-2007-2873 <http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2007-2873>).
