	Yes, I know.  Using --dry-run and looking at the available
	online information was how I figured out how to make my perl
	script work.  :)  I've included the script below..  Enjoy.

	The script below is setup to work in the Khoros make system,
	so you'll have to change the first section for you're environment.
	I've added comments to help explain what I'm doing.   The Khoros
	make rules which call this script install libmylib_stub.a as
	libmylib.a in our dynamic library dir.  The libmylib.dll gets
	installed in the binary dir.
