How ironic, a python file to give scons a hard time. ;-)

The problem is like this: lyx2lyx_version.py is generated by
lyx2lyx_version.py.in so 'scons install' generates and install
lyx2lyx_version.py. At the same time, scons globs files under lyx2lyx
and install them. If there is already a lyx2lyx_version.py in this
directory, as a result of autotools installation runs, scons fails
because DESTDIR/.../lyx2lyx_version.py will be installed twice.

By using explicit file list, pre-existing lyx2lyx_version.py will be
ignored... This is why development/scons/scons_manifest.py is added to
the scons system.
