Well, copying it over manually is _never_ right. If it doesn't get installed,
you need to figure out why it wasn't installed. (My guess would be
is that 'make install' in Pagno was dying rather than running to completion.)

Well, there have bene various fixes since 0.8.0, but I don't think they
should matter... 0.8.0 should work fine. (There was a serious bug in
0.10 or 0.11 if your PKG_CONFIG_PATH ends in a trailing slash, but I
think that was introduced after 0.8.0)
