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.

Coke moved inter::progs to the position you recommended ($steps[6]) in
r17671 on 2007-03-20. This essentially reverted to r16268 from a change
made in 16416.
