I'm certainly open to suggestions on how to reduce the work needed for
the first step, but it needs to be a step in the right direction. Adding
500 files and reorganizing many directories is not a good intermediate
measure. I definitely want your work committed too, in fact I included
it in the requirements for the 1.2 release; but I'm not willing to make
a mess of the source tree just to get this in sooner, as I'm sure you
understand.
