I don't care one way or the other about reorganizing sources. It's not 
something I would do myself, since my philosophy is, if it ain't broke, 
don't fix it.

Best,
Mike

Hi Michael,

The Sconcript file seems to make more sense for frontends, but that's
about all.  From my first look at it, it seems a bit complicated, so
will ignore for now. I do think the SConstruct file is getting a bit
big and some of the build logic isn't clear (though it's improved a
lot in the past couple weeks by Istvan and yourself).

What do you think about reorganizing all of the source file
directories under src?
