  install.

  case_info.h file is an optimized version of the case
  information in the ../src/UnicodeData.txt file.

  Pike build.

mktreeopt.pike

nobinary_dummy
  A simple script that fakes success for all configure
  tests when --disable-binary is set.

pike
  This file is generated from the file pike.in when make

  bin/pike --gdb program_that_crash.pike --arg arg2

  verify is run.

xenofarm.sh

  package.

xenofarm_gdb_cmd
  GDB commands that the Xenofarm client will run on any resulting core
  files once its build and verification is done.
