mkmanifest is just used during the build.. it's only in the binary snapshot 
because it happens to live in the target directory (it's also used during the 
suite builds).  It's not in the installer.

chkmanifest gets installed with the base binaries (it's similar usage to 
cvsdiag except it tracks manifest dependencies instead).
