Hints need to come *before* inter/progs.  The hints set up various 
platform-specific callbacks to be performed after the different programs 
are selected.  Actually, I suspect they should even come before the 
init::install unit.  Certainly in perl5's hints, there are a number that 
modify the default installation directories.  However, I don't understand 
parrot's installation plan, so I have left this alone.
