No, the wad files themselves remain untouched. It merely modifies 
supplementary .gwa files of the same name, which have to get created 
by glbsp before.

It's like that:

$ ls DOOM.*
DOOM.WAD

$ glbsp DOOM.WAD
[...]

$ ls DOOM.*
DOOM.WAD  DOOM.gwa

$ glvis DOOM.WAD
[...]

$ ls DOOM.*
DOOM.WAD  DOOM.gwa  DOOM.~gw

DOOM.~gw is the initial .gwa file created by glbsp that got backed up 
by glvis. The file date of DOOM.WAD ist still May 25 1995.
