do you really like the windows-method of storing almost everything
in a single "System32" folder?
for my part I like to keep separated what does not belong together.
also note that it is usually faster to search for a file if there are only
a few files in a folder than when there are hundreds.
Nobody names his source files like
  My_Project_Calculator_Version_1_calc_main.c
and keeps evrything in one folder. (well at least nobody I know;-)

my EUR 0.02 :-)
c.a.t.
