Hmm - I think that's a side issue to this reorg.  Let's keep to code that 
exists - I'm not sure that everyone's communicating acurately at the moment.

I think that there will probably always be some small details about the code 
that don't accurately map onto how the repository works, and also that talking 
about code is fairly error prone compared to actually working with it.

Brian - I'm happy to make a start with your original layout.  Lets get that up 
and running so that we can talk in concrete terms about any additional & minor 
rearrangements for the final switchover.
