The octave-forge `packaging system' does not support subdirectories.
If you have a lot of functions, it will be easier to add main/probit.  
If you
don't have a lot of functions, then do you really need a separate
subdirectory?

Without thinking about it a whole lot I prefer a shallower package
tree, especially since we have a flat namespace.

If you do decide to go deeper, please put the logic in main/Makefile
in such a way that other packages can easily support installable
subdirectories, e.g., with a file listing them in the top level of the
package.  Also, unify this with what David has done in fixed, since
it has some subdirectories.
