The msvc Install.pm file (not Mkvcbuild in this case) will put it in
/share/contrib/, and currently doesn't support subdirs. But it can bemade
to support those if needed, I guess. No idea if that'll work on non-msvc
builds.
Do we expect there might be more like this? We could easily add a rule
to Install.pm to know about DICTFILES rules in addition to DATA rules.. (In
CopyContribFiles in Install.pm)
