dynoplibs.pl and dynpmc.pl are not installable and are a deprecated. 
(Both perl scripts are generated from template files with hardcoded 
build directory paths, which is truly evil.) Use generated makefiles 
instead. See config/gen/makefiles/dynpmc.in and 
config/gen/makefiles/dynoplibs.in for examples of what the makefile 
templates should look like, or better yet, look at ParTcl's makefile 
templates.
