in r13493, a new MANIFEST was put in place that was generated by  
tools/dev/mk_manifest_and_skip.pl

This MANIFEST had a *lot* of churn; most of it seems to be due to re- 
ordering!

The current MANIFEST (r13493) starts with:

RELEASE_INSTRUCTIONS                              []
DEPRECATED.pod                                    []
VERSION                                           []
CREDITS                                           []
vtable.tbl                                        [devel]

While the old manifest (r13492) starts with:

ABI_CHANGES                                       []
ChangeLog                                         []
Configure.pl                                      []
CREDITS                                           []
DEPRECATED.pod                                    []
DEVELOPING                                        []
MANIFEST                                          []


Looking at the code, it seems that the order in the manifest is being  
driven by "File::Find". So it's not a surprise that we get churn  
depending on who is running the tool.

This list should be collated in some predictable fashion to avoid  
this svn-churn, and to make the file easier to read/update by hand  
when necessary.

Regards.
