Anybody has an idea why compilers/imcc/imclexer.c is in 
MANIFEST.generated, and compilers/imcc/imcparser.{c,h} not?
I believe this is a bug, so I added those two also. But what for?

MANIFEST.generated serves two purposes I guess:

1) Track make generated files to be able to clean them, which are not
    cleaned by wildcards, or by seperate subdir Makefiles. So only
    config/gen/makefiles/root.in generated files.

2) Add all files to be installed, except the languages which have their
    own make install. Except perl6, which is also installed by
    tools/dev/install_files.pl

I rather want to get rid of point 1, this should be cleaned up in the 
Makefile. And adding potentially-to-be-installed installed files 
requires some tools/dev/install_files.pl overrides.

Attached is my current state of affair, but there are still some 
left-over files. So do not apply, I want to clean up the whole mess 
first, so we don't have to deal with a MANIFEST.generated.in for the yet 
untracked files.

The headerizer is also not yet finished.
