it is the case, basically b/c the normal pod -> man process happens on
the pm/pod files as they reside in the blib tree.

as would therefore be necessary, manifypods depends on pure_all. it's
ExtUtils::MakeMaker's doing, not mine. 

# line 840 from my Gtk2/Makefile:
manifypods : pure_all Gtk2.pm \
        ... rest of pod files ...

that is true, so if make tried to build/stock_items.podi in parallel
with the pure_all (both as dep's of manifypods) it could get to it
before Gtk2.so existed. adding a pure_all dep on the above rule would
fix that, it will also need to be added to several other places.
