"makefile trickery" could be a simple
  echo "$(filename)         [bla]" >> MANIFEST.generated
which is platform independent. It even works on windows plain.

But most of the examples can be generated more easily during the
build step by better utils.

Examples are arch specific library names and extensions,
now in MANIFEST.generated. But this sucks.
E.g.
blib/lib/libparrot.so.0.8.2                       [main]lib
has to be fixed on every VERSION bump.

runtime/parrot/dynext/perl6_group.bundle          [library]
runtime/parrot/dynext/perl6_group.dll             [library]
runtime/parrot/dynext/perl6_group.dylib           [library]
runtime/parrot/dynext/perl6_group.so              [library]
can be collapsed on the actual platform.

Also the generated ops for each core can be added during the build step.
runtime/parrot/dynext/wmls_ops.dll                [library]
runtime/parrot/dynext/wmls_ops_cg.dll             [library]
runtime/parrot/dynext/wmls_ops_cgp.dll            [library]
runtime/parrot/dynext/wmls_ops_switch.dll         [library]

All the perl6 ops e.g. are currently missing and are therefore not
installed in trunk. (fixed in pdd30install_stage3)

I'll work on that in the pdd30install_stage3 branch since it's only needed
for make install.
