Got it (and with "instal" with one L).

As for why, IIRC you mentioned[1] before that the manifests are cached; 
I suppose the name= attribute would be used in the cached data, hence 
the requirement to be unique.

Some additional googling revealed that you also mentioned that the 
manifests need to be executable[2].

The attached patch is what I have in mind.  It won't apply to SVN trunk 
yet due to other uncommitted patches in the queue, but I need to fix 
that soon to get a long-overdue release out the door.  Anything else 
that I may not be aware of before I commit this?
