I'll do it tomorrow.

I don't understand what you mean by 'for external use'.
A Parrot-based project needs a Parrot, usually an installed Parrot.
The files TAP/Formatter.pbc, TAP/Harness.pbc, TAP/Parser.pbc
are already installed with Parrot.
And the target 'test' of the library 'distutils' uses by default these
librairies.
So for example, in the language generated by the script tools/dev/
mk_language_shell.pl,
when you run 'parrot setup.pir test', you use them.
