[PD] building pd-extended from SVN

FYI,

Ended-up "touching" fake help-files to get through this one--this
definitely looks like a build script bug. Now that the whole tarball is
successfully built, main tarball installer (the one that is packaged
with the tarball, fails with an error when it tries to install
$n-help.pd file from the iemlib as it tries to interpret $n as a
variable:

install: cannot stat `lib/pd-extended/extra/iemlib/-help.pd': No such
file or directory

Script has:

	install -p 'lib/pd-extended/extra/iemlib/$n-help.pd'
'$(prefix)/lib/pd-extended/extra/iemlib/$n-help.pd'

How would one make the install script ignore the $ sign? (sorry I am
terrible with shell scripting).

Anyone?
