The added Configure.pl file is a one-liner with exactly the same call as 
in the makefile. It will also only work inside parrot/languages/
Without a parrot srcdir languages are helpless.

There are no Parrot perl5 libs installed (Parrot::Compiler and 
Parrot::Config needed here), and no tools/dev/reconfigure.pl
There's still no idea for a Parrot::Install layout. (pdd30)

What languages need from parrot are installed helper libs and tools.
And a layout where they should be installed to.
The runtime subdirs - as they are now - will not work, as there are no 
runtime paths being installed.

It's close to 0.9.0 and still no decisions being made, and my patches 
were rejected without any alternative. So I cannot help you.
