Comment:
Here's what I've been able to learn so far. Testing below done primarily
on Linux, but confirmed on Darwin.
With ''MANIFEST.generated'' edited to include `installable_pirc` and
`installable_pirc.exe`, but without correcting
''tools/dev/install_files.pl'':
{{{
perl Configure.pl --prefix=/topdir/pseudoinstall
}}}
Install was successful.

}}}
Note absence of ''installable_pirc''.
With ''MANIFEST.generated'' edited to include `installable_pirc` and
`installable_pirc.exe`, and with correcting
''tools/dev/install_files.pl'':
{{{
perl Configure.pl --prefix=/topdir/pseudoinstall
}}}

}}}
Inferences: Correcting ''install_files.pl'', at the very least, does no
harm.
Moreover, when ''MANIFEST.generated'' is corrected to include two more
files,
everything DTRT. However, no ''pirc'' executable gets built in either
case.
It's not clear under what circumstances it does get built.
So I'm inclined to add the two files to ''MANIFEST.generated'' and to
correct ''tools/dev/install_files.pl''. Any comment?
Thank you very much.
