The actions in the recipe would invoke install_files(), just like the
existing install actions in default.aap.  An extra argument indicates
the action to be used for the copying (installing) of the file, e.g.:

	@install_files(dest, source, _no.LTLIBMODE, copyaction = "libtoolfilecopy")
	:action libtoolfilecopy default
		:sys libtool ... --from $source --to $target

The install_files() function takes care of invoking the action specified
with "copyaction".  When none specified remote_copy_move() is used as
before.

Quite a while ago, just before I added ":produce", you wrote a nice
explanation of how to use a filetype to specify what kind of program to
produce.  Reworking that to explain using ":produce" would be a good
idea.  The main thing is to explain the difference between what you want
to build and how to do it.

I have this remark in my todo list:

	multi-line :lib doesn't work?  Adriaan de Groot will make a patch.

Do you understand it now?  I would have to dig in my mail archive to
find the details.
