Hi,

the files

compilers/imcc/imcparser.c
compilers/imcc/imcparser.h
languages/cola/lexer.c
languages/cola/parser.c

are in the SVN repository and are mentioned in MANIFEST.generated.
However invoking tools/dev/mk_manifest_and_skip.pl adds these files
to MANIFEST. This breaks convenient regeneration of MANIFEST.

To resolve this, mk_manifest_and_skip.pl could be taught to look in
MANIFEST.generated for
files that should not be added to MANIFEST. Or the above files could be
moved back to MANIFEST.

even though these files are generated, they are checked into the
repository. they are regenerated only by imcc maintainers, when parser
and lexer changes are made. it's not expected that anyone other than
these maintainers have bison or flex installed--this is why they're in
the repository.

therefore, these files should not be mentioned in MANIFEST.generated,
and must be mentioned in MANIFEST.

Everything should be back as of revision 16482.
