Actually, I think that might be moving in the wrong direction. I
don't like how mule is singled out for being odd, for examples in
makefiles. I'd like to have no special treatment for mule files.
From a user's perspective, it makes perfect sense to have
lisp/
lisp/mule
lisp/ldap
lisp/C-LEVEL-FEATURE
where perhaps the directory lisp/C-LEVEL-FEATURE is only added to
load-path when FEATURE is available.
The problems making this view of the world happen are merely
technical. There are a lot of technical problems.
And of course, for a major change in directory structure, the status
quo wins unless it's a clear and significant improvement.
