Bug 905973 ensures the install-manifests target runs before the binaries target does its work, ensuring headers are properly updated in $(DIST). This leaves out webidl, xpidl and other related things.

The purpose of the binaries target being to rebuild C++ code, it needs to ensure everything related to code has been properly updated. Thus the need for a helper "precompile" target that would do all code related exports, leaving the other exports to the export target.

Relatedly, this precompile target should probably *not* touch dist/sdk and dist/bin.
