--------------------+-------------------------------------------------------
In TT #823, Coke experienced some mysterious test failures because he had
a stray .pmc file in src/pmc. This PMC was silently built into Parrot
even though it wasn't in MANIFEST and didn't belong.
A solution to this behavior is to have the generated Makefile explicitly
list all PMCs rather than using the suffix rules (see
config/gen/makefiles/root.in +655). Alternately, a big noisy warning when
there are PMCs not listed in MANIFEST would be sufficient. The idea is
that it should be hard for a user or developer to unknowingly build Parrot
with extra PMCs
