In the source repository, the 'parrot' in runtime/parrot/foo is
pointless.  It's a singleton directory, and it's redundant.

It also means that when we install, we either end up with silly
directories like /usr/lib/parrot/runtime/parrot/foo/, or we have to
clutter the .include and load_bytecode code with checks in both
<prefix>/runtime/parrot/foo/ *AND* <prefix>/runtime/foo/.

The solution to this is to fix the source tree -- move the children of
runtime/parrot/ up one level, and get rid of the 'parrot' directory.

In summary, there are three things that can budge, depending on how you
view this problem: cleanliness, performance, and the source tree.  I
vote for fixing the source tree.
