Re: [Arsperl-devel] ARSperl package structure changes

[Thilo S. <thi...@ap...>]

Well, that is pretty much what I found out too. To summarize my results:

- we can get rid of "artypes.ph"
- it would be too much hassle to remove "_h2ph_pre.ph"
- but at least "_h2ph_pre.ph" can be moved to the "ARS/" subdirectory 
where it won't bother anyone.

The next check-in will be up on SourceForge very soon.
