Install.pm contains this elsewhere:

         GenerateTsearchFiles($target);
         CopySetOfFiles(
             'Stopword files',
             [ glob("src\\backend\\snowball\\stopwords\\*.stop") ],
             $target . '/share/tsearch_data/');

It's a bit confusing that the "generate" function that we are patching 
also installs some of the files right away, while the rest is installed 
by the calling function.
