There are 3 programs named mka64ins-3.2.2, mkarmins-3.2.2 and mkx86ins-3.2.2
that are helper programs used by the compiler compilation which do not support -
h/--help and do not even take any parameter. They only read a file in a relative
position to current directory and write some pascal include files that are part
of the compiler sources.

So these programs are not useful for users and should not be packaged. I'm going
to upload a new version discarding them once current version hits testing (in 3
days I hope).
