Well, the fact is we use Perl packages now (Git.pm and
Git::Mediawiki.pm in contrib/mw-to-git/Git/). The way we build perl
scripts in the toplevel's Makefile makes those packages accessible
only in $GITPERLLIB if it's defined and defaults to $INSTLIBDIR to
seek for installed version of those packages.

We use a bin-wrapper to define that $GITPERLLIB variable so that the
installed version gets bypassed by the one presents in the directory
defined in $GITPERLLIB.

an incomplete line ?
