I just spent about an hour trying to figure out how the files in runtime/parrot/library/ are automatically compiled into .pbc files when Parrot is built. It turns out that the list of files is computed from the MANIFEST, and I was searching through files in the config/ subdirectory (where most other configuration-like items tend to be placed).
Is MANIFEST the correct file for determining which .pir files should automatically be converted to .pbc ? And if it is (or even if it isn't but we decide to keep it this way for some time), could/should there be a note in the generated root Makefile that indicates that GEN_LIBRARY is being generated from entries in the MANIFEST? Thanks, Pm
