Re: [Alephmodular-devel] Sketches on directory layouts...

I like this.  Putting all the platform specific files
in seperate subdirectories, would make it easyer to
maintain the project files.  "Hmm... I want to build
on windows, so lets try adding common/*.cpp and
win32/*.cpp.  Wow! It works!  Lets try common/*.cpp
and osx/*.cpp for my carbon build.  That works too!" 
Right now in A1 tracking down files that are added can
be a pain even when the additions are well documented.
 I'm not so concerned if some of the common/*.[h|cpp]
files have platform #ifdef's in them, just that
figuring out which files need to be linked into a
build for a platform is easy.  That is if x.o (from
x.cpp) only gets linked into the app when on platform
Y then x.cpp should be in Y/x.cpp (or some varient of
that form).  If x.o gets linked for all platforms then
x.cpp goes into common/x.cpp.  I don't know about
files that are linked on more than one platform, but
not all.

Anyway, just some thoughts from the perspective of
someone (potentially) trying to compile the program.
