Re: [Tora-develop] new directory structure for tora

[Alexey D. <al...@da...>]

Cool - I agree with all points:

Both "ext" and "util" (or "utils" - whichever is better) sounds fine to 
me. I also agree on the point that  all external stuff especially with 
the different license should go to ext (except qscintilla  which we 
don't host at all and the build scriptf for Windows part ofit will go to 
util(s)).

Marvellous - how hard it would be to update the unix build scripts? For 
windows part - it's just a day of work.
