Speaking of Makefiles, one downside to all of this directory
segmentation is that you can't run "make" from the subdirectories.

I had an impression that "make -C lib/" would be one of the goals, iow,
when we split the directory structure, the next step would be to split the
top-level Makefile so that each directory is covered by its own Makefile,
just like Documentation/ is already usable that way.

Ugh. I am not thrilled at the prospect of more recursive make.

Likewise. Notice that I have consistently been unthrilled when people
started talking about splitting the source code tree?
