It cleans up some remaining cruft from the old days when assemble.pl happened to be used.
More importantly there are now two different ways to run tests through the PIR assembler:
From t/op/basic.t:
output_is(<<'CODE', <<'OUTPUT', "pir syntax with marker - is"); ##PIR## .sub _main .const string OK = "ok\n" print OK end .end
pir_output_is(<<'CODE', <<'OUTPUT', "pir syntax with function - is"); .sub _main .const string OK = "ok\n" print OK end .end
"make clean" changes will be done with root.in.
