Although I think it would be good to install a lot of these, I'm going
to hold off for at least 3.1.0. However, they are included in the
tarball so this can change with even a pkgrel bump.

The proto files are going to be installed however, as well as the two
completion files.

If there is more interest, I'd be glad to install the rest. Maybe a
forum post would suffice to gauge it, if anyone wants to do that.
