This patch goes on top of the dist-3.0@70.  It fixes two problems:

1.  The new _a, _o, and _exe suffixes need to be marked as
"Exceptions" since they are not lower-case symbols, but we still want
them in config.sh.

2.  The pattern /configure\b/ for &mani_remove was too aggressive.  In
the perl distribution, I have a file "configure.gnu", (which matches
the pattern) but I don't have a plain file "configure" (due to
case-insensitive file-system issues).  This version looks for
/configure\s/, assuming there will be a comment on the same line
as the filename in MANIFEST.  Perhaps we should just drop the test.  I
don't know.
