Be prepared that you might have to do that again, as the repos aren't
quite stable yet. But I hope that this will only result in additional
repos and the corresponding removal of folders in oll-archive.

I'm sure that had once been in a readme file, but due to the
reorganization that will have been buried somewhere.
Once the repos are fixed I'll look into that again.

I like lilylib - it is just that is actually the finger equivalent to a
tongue twister ;-)

ollib looks somewhat like a _word_ instead of the hybrid between acronym
and abbreviation it is. OLLib was better in this regard, but I think it
was a good suggestion to make all file/dir names lowercase.
