I think what he is suggesting is that (in the absense of =library- 
combine-up or =library-no-combine-up) a directory with one pg file  
will be combined upward only if the directory name is the same as the  
problem name. So prob1/prob1.pg would but setSparse/prob1.pg would  
not.  I don't have any problem with that, but haven't looked at hard  
it would be to accomplish it.  Should be straight forward, I would  
think.

Another possibility would be not to combine up into the top level at  
all (unless explicitly requested).

That would be fine by me.  It is easy to change, since there is a  
constant at the top of the file for the phrase to be used.
