There's a lot of discussion on this thread, but:

James points out in his last post to this thread that even if we can 
track every single file generated during the build process (config or 
make), that doesn't help us with MANIFEST.generated, as we need a human 
to say which of those files need to be installed.

I'm rejecting this ticket; If we can come up with a more implementable 
goal, we'll open a new ticket at https://trac.parrot.org/
