---------------------+------------------------------------------------------
 Currently the logic to install installables is not satisfactory and leads
 too easily to hard to detect errors.

 There's no error when a installable_ version is missing.

 Currently:[[BR]]
 First the ordinary binaries are installed, then in a second step those are
 overwritten by the installable_* versions.

 Todo:[[BR]]
   * For all binaries with matching installable_* binary, copy only
 the installable_ binary and do not attempt to copy the build_specific
 variant at all. This is too fragile.
   * print a warning on missing installable version if not found in the
 MANIFEST files (such as scripts)
   * fail with an error if the installable is missing or could not be
 copied.
